What is BS EN 62952-1 – Wireless communication device about ?
BS EN 62952-1 is an international standard of the BS EN 62952 series that discusses the requirements of power modules to power sources for a wireless communication device. All industrial plants use power in processing raw materials power shortage reduces the production of goods and increases the cost which results in lower GDP.
BS EN 62952-1 specifies the general requirements of power modules for wireless communication devices (WCD). BS EN 62952-1 includes additional optional specifications to permit use in explosive atmospheres and harsh environments.
BS EN 62952-1 specifies the usability over the life-cycle of a power module including replacing it in an explosive atmosphere. Unreplaceable batteries such as memory backup are out of the scope of BS EN 62952-1.
Note: Secondary batteries or power modules are covered by BS EN 62952-1, but a method of power charging is out of scope.
Who is BS EN 62952-1 – Wireless communication device for ?
BS EN 62952-1 on power sources for a wireless communication device applies to:
- Manufacturer of wireless communication devices
- Quality testing personnel
- Electrical engineer
- Suppliers and distributors of wireless communication devices
Why should you use BS EN 62952-1 – Wireless communication device ?
Wireless communication in which electromagnetic radiations are used to transfer information without the use of wires or optical fibres. The power module is a stand-alone power supply element. A power source is a mechanical unit with an electrical interface to provide power for a wireless communication device.
BS EN 62952-1 provides a device that uses a power module for its power source that can contain a battery and/or an energy harvesting element. To increase usability, a power source of wireless sensors and actuators require a standardized interface and harmonized requirements.
BS EN 62952-1 specifies the interface and specification of a power source of wireless devices and does not specify the mechanical interface within a wireless communication device and the power source. Additionally, energy harvesting is a key technology for the power source of wireless devices. BS EN 62952-1 also specifies the interface and specification of energy harvesting devices. BS EN 62952-1 addresses the general requirements of power sources for wireless communication devices.
