3.1 European Union Regulations - Radio Equipment directive (RED)

The DIRECTIVE 2014/53/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 16 April 2014 on the harmonization of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing Directive 1999/5/EC. Article 3 Essential requirements can be found here.

In accordance with the essential requirement for Radio and electrical equipment sold in the EU, the following harmonized standards apply to the 60-GHz radar equipment

  • EN 62311. Safety, RF exposure - Assessment of electronic and electrical equipment related to human exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields (0 Hz – 300 GHz). This Standard covers the essential requirements of article 3.1(a) of Directive 2014/53/EU
  • EN 62368-1. Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment - Part 1: Safety requirements , Electrical safety; This also covers the essential requirements of article 3.1(a) of Directive 2014/53/EU
  • EN 301 489-3. ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard for radio equipment and services; Part 1: Common technical requirements.Thisharmonizedstandard covers the essential requirements of article 3.1(b) of Directive 2014/53/EU and the essential requirements of article 6 of Directive 2014/30/EU.
  • EN 305 550. Short Range Devices (SRD) Radio equipment to be used in the 40 GHz to 246 GHz frequency range; Harmonized Standard for access to radio spectrum. This covers the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU.
