Testing for Wireless Compliance
Radio & Wireless testing verifies that your product meets international wireless regulations and performs reliably across global markets. It’s mandatory for CE and UKCA marking, FCC and ISED in relation to wireless products and other certifications.
Examples of technologies covered:
• Wi-Fi / WLAN (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz)
• Bluetooth – Classic and LE (Low Energy) types
• SRDs (Short Range Devices)
• RFID (Radio Requency Identification Devices)
• UWB (Ultra Wide Band)
• LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network)
• RADAR – various types
• Zigbee
• GPS (Global Positioning System) & Cellular testing
• PMR (Private Mobile Radio)
• Millimetre Wave (mmWave)
• 5G Infrastructure
Examples of certifications around the world to demonstrate compliance to National and International Regimes and Directives include:
• Europe: RED (Radio Equipment Directive) for CE
• USA: FCC listed
• Canada: ISED listed
• United Kingdom: UKCA
• Australia: ACMA
• New Zealand: New Zealand Gazette and Government and Radiocommunications Act
• Japan: MIC (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) – Radio/telecom approval
• China: CCC (China Compulsory Certification) – Safety & EMC compliance
• South Korea: KC (Korea Certification) – EMC, safety, telecom
• India: BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) – Electronics & IT equipment
• Taiwan: NCC (National Communications Commission) – Telecom/wireless devices
• Singapore: IMDA (Infocomm Media Development Authority) – Telecom approvals
• Middle EastSaudi Arabia: CITC (Communications and Information Technology Commission) – Telecom/wireless
• United Arab Emirates: TRA (Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority) – Telecom approvals
• Israel: MoC (Ministry of Communications) – Wireless/telecom
• Brazil: ANATEL (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações) – Telecom/wireless
• Mexico: IFT (Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones) – Telecom approvals
• Argentina: ENACOM (Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones) – Wireless/telecom
