Radio Equipment Directive and old radio modules

Phil Davies

I have a product which uses a pre-certified radio module. It was certified to ETSI 300 328 V2.1.1. That standard is now withdrawn. The module is obsolete, but we have a large quantity of stock. Designing in a new module is out of scope.

I am hoping to avoid retesting the receiver blocking test in ETSI 300 328 V2.2.2, but I don't think there's a way round this - has anyone else had to solve this problem?

    Do you only need to meet the receiver blocking test in your application?

    it is not the only thing that has changed https://www.tuvsud.com/en-us/resource-centre/stories/etsi-en-300-328-v2-2-2-overview lists the full set.

    As this standard applies to things like wifi, bluetooth and Zigbee modules the co-existance problem is very real - which is why the tests have been changed.


    If you want to declare conformity by meeting ETSI 300 328, then you have very little choice I'm afraid. A unit that complied comfortably with the old standard is unlikely to fail but a poorly designed one may need extra filters between antenna and RX in.
