RoHS technical documentation
The RoHS harmonised standard is explicitly about technical documentation for assessing conformity.
Typical artifacts: Technical documentation for materials and components (BOM).
WEEE collection and marking
WEEE Directive requires marking for separate collection.
Typical artifacts: EN 50419 marking verification, registration in national registries.
EMC emissions
EMC harmonised-standard titles identify emission requirements.
Typical artifacts: EMC emissions assessment records and test reports.
EMC immunity
EMC harmonised-standard titles identify immunity requirements.
Typical artifacts: EMC immunity assessment records and test reports.
Human exposure / Health
RED Article 3.1(a) requires protection of health and safety, including human exposure to EMF.
Typical artifacts: Human exposure assessment reports, SAR test reports, EMF exclusion justifications.
Radio cybersecurity
RED Delegated Act requires protection of network and privacy.
Typical artifacts: Cybersecurity assessment reports, vulnerability analysis.
Radio cybersecurity for value-processing equipment
RED cybersecurity standards also cover internet-connected radio equipment that processes virtual money or monetary value.
Typical artifacts: Cybersecurity assessment reports, threat modelling, misuse analysis, vulnerability analysis.
Radio spectrum access
RED harmonised-standard titles identify standards for access to radio spectrum.
Typical artifacts: Technical documentation references, assessment records, and test reports.
