All,
I would be interested in all opinions regarding the compliance
requirements for a GPS receiver. Annex I, Item 4 excludes all sound and
TV broadcast receivers from the RTTE Directive.
Assuming the RTTE Directive applies, which one of the Product Specific
Standards would be most

GPS receivers are covered by RTTE Directive as they are non-broadcast
receive only equipment - have a look at RTTE Compliance Association Guidance
Note on this:
http://www.rtteca.com/TGN16.pdf
The most suitable standards are EN 301 489-3 for EMC and EN 300 440-2 for RF
Spectrum.
Hello Steve,
It's not a broadcast receiver and therefore the RTTE Directive does apply.
I've seen people use all sorts of standards in the past but the basic
requirement is really going to be to check the receiver emissions (article
3.2 of the Directive) and also check it has good EMC
All,
Thanks for the replies which have been consistent across the board
recommending EN 301 489-3 for the EMC portion. This is what I was
leaning toward as well, even without the knowledge of TGN16 but based
mostly on the scopes of all parts in the EN 301 489 series of standards.
As an option
Michael,
After reviewing the TGN16 a little closer, I noticed the statement
below:
This Guidance applies to receive-only equipment. Where GPS/GNSS or
other
receivers are combined with other radio equipment, different principles
may apply.
So, back to my question regarding
I notice that some compliance reports of RTTE are reviewed by a notified body
while some are issued by an accredited laboratory only. Can someone advise if
they have different purposes or requirements.
Thanks and regards,
Scott

Hi Steve,
If it's a GPS Receiver that is also located with (for example) a Bluetooth
transmitter, then you could still assess the Bluetooth transmitter to EN 300
328 and EN 301 489-17, then the GPS receiver to EN 300 440 and EN 301 489-3.
The comment in TGN 16 comes from the type of GPS
If the tests are all done to a harmonised standard (standard fully applied,
and passes), then there's no need to go to a Notified Body.
(You can, if you wish to, but there's no need to)
If you can't or don't fully apply a harmonised standard, then you must go to
a Notified Body for their
Scott
Also - as a manufacturer, there is nothing to stop you performing your own
tests - there is no mandatory requirement to use an accredited lab.
If you're not using an accredited Lab and need a Notified Body opinion - talk
to them first about how you will demonstrate suitable competence
The original 2010 proposals were to include the RTTE in the NLF as a
re-cast directive. I cannot find any recent activity on this. Any
information if NLF will affect acceptance of these self-generated reports?

I have a personal question about the ruggedness of consumer entertainment

Hello Amund.
No, there's no requirement for a Notified Body to be associated with a test
laboratory.
Presently, there's no requirement for a Notified Body to be accredited under
the RTTE Directive.. Although each nation typically does have an
accreditation requirement before submitting
No we can't. It's not a modified SINE wave; that's just salesmanship,
Ed. It's more like 50% duty cycle bipolar pulses.

My input on this issue:
. Notified Body = Appointed by authorities for testing /
certification according to an EU directive
. Accredited laboratory = Fulfil ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratory
Accreditation (criteria for laboratories to demonstrate the technical
competence to carry out
Seems to me that it depends on the type of power supply in the equipment.
Just about everything these days uses a switching power supply. Given
that, the next question is whether it is harmonic/power factor corrected
or not.
If not, and the input to the power supply is simply a bridge

Hi Scott,
Not sure if this answers your question, but you MUST use a Notified Body if
you test to a standard that has not been harmonized as evidenced by being
published in the Official Journal of the EU.
If you do test to a standard that is indeed harmonized and published in the
OJ, then

Then it applies only in Germany to German-made products.
