Required Testing & Evidence

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.
