BS EN IEC 63404:2024

Switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies for low voltage. Integration of radiocommunication device above 380 MHz into an equipment. | Status: Current

1 Scope This document defines radiocommunication related requirements for equipment intended to integrate a radiocommunication device. It includes the initial integration and update of a the radiocommunication device, having a carrier frequency greater than 380 MHz, into new or updated host equipment with:

• - The classification of integration categories;
• - The EMC immunity verification using a capability profile approach;
• - The verification of the unwanted emission level of the radio transceiver.

This document also provides typical radiocommunication device integration use cases (see Annex A). The object of this document is to define the required evaluation when incorporating a radiocommunication device into a new or updated host equipment. This document is intended to be referred by the product standard of the host equipment for providing additional characteristics, performance, and evaluation regarding the integration and update of a radiocommunication device (see Annex C). It can also be used by the manufacturer of the host equipment when no applicable product standard exists. In addition, this document provides guidance on considerations to be addressed in product standards including safety and security matter. This document does not cover:

• - The test of the radiocommunication device according to its radiotechnology standard or specification (e.g. IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.4);
• - Allocation of radio frequencies;
• - The impact on the application of the equipment;
• - The safety related requirements of the host equipment (see the applicable product standard)
• - Hazards related to remote control operations (see the applicable product standard);
• - Over the air software updates (under consideration for the next revision).
