Nowadays, as the drawbacks of wired routers become increasingly apparent, the demand for wireless routers has gradually expanded. It can be said that the current society is covered by wireless networks. There are wireless networks wherever you go. It is not difficult to see wireless router products. However, the export of this kind of wireless products to the European Union requires CE-RED certification.

What is RED certification?

Since the EU officially announced the new directive and came into effect, there is a two-year transition period. From June 13, 2016, the original R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC will be abolished, and products that have been evaluated under the old directive can continue to be sold to June 13, 2017. After June 13, 2017, only wireless devices assessed in accordance with the new RED 2014/53/EU will be allowed to be sold on the EU market. The purpose of the new directive is to clarify the scope of spectrum use, improve the effectiveness of spectrum use, and make it easier for member countries to implement regulations and conduct market monitoring.

Why do wireless routers need to apply for RED certification?

RED certification is one of the wireless product certifications in the EU mandatory CE certification model. Products with wireless transmission frequencies include: wireless doorbells, Bluetooth devices, wireless routers, WiFi devices, wireless alarm devices, radio receiving and transmitting devices, and phones , Computers, etc., all need to apply for RED certification.

Before wireless products can be legally sold in EU countries, they must be tested and approved according to the RED directive, and they must also have the CE-mark. Wireless remote control products must comply with the RED directive RED 2014/53/EU requirements.

Wireless router CE-RED certification fee

The cost of CE certification mainly depends on the products to be certified, the certification body selected, and the relevant product directives.

Different product test items are also completely different. Common products such as routers are electronic and electrical products. Common test items are classified into EMC, LVD, and RED instructions.

1. First of all, the product itself. Different products require different certification instructions, so the prices are definitely different.

a. The standards implemented by the product

b. Product function and mode

c. Technical parameters of the product

2. The use of CE depends on whether it is used for export customs clearance or domestic use. According to different purposes, different types of CE can be selected.

3. The difference of CE certification agencies will also lead to differences in prices; the size and authority of the certification agencies will also affect the price of CE certification. The more authoritative enterprises are, the higher the price for certification will be.

Wireless router RED test project

1. Electromagnetic compatibility test (EMC test)

2. Safety test LVD (In the new directive, this test is also required for battery input RF products)

3. Perform radio communication equipment testing (RF testing) according to European ETSI standards

4. Information Announcement of European Permitted Spectrum (Notification)

5. CTR (TBR) test

6. Electrical safety and health protection test (SAR evaluation)
