MRF24J40MD/ME
3.3 Europe
The MRF24J40MD/ME module is an R&TTE Directive
assessed radio module that is CE marked and has
been manufactured and tested with the intention of
being integrated into a final product.
The MRF24J40MD/ME module has been tested to
R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC Essential Requirements
for Health and Safety (Article (3.1(a)), Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) (Article 3.1(b)), and Radio (Article
3.2) and are summarized in Table 3-1: European Com-
pliance Testing. A Notified Body Opinion has also been
issued. All test reports are available on the
MRF24J40MD/ME product web page at
http://www.microchip.com.

Note:
To maintain conformance to the testing
listed in Table 3-1: European Compliance
Testing, the module shall be installed in
accordance with the installation
instructions in this data sheet and shall not
be modified.

When integrating a radio module into a
completed product the integrator
becomes the manufacturer of the final
product and is therefore responsible for
demonstrating compliance of the final
product with the essential requirements of
the R&TTE Directive.
3.3.1
LABELING AND USER
INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS
The label on the final product which contains the
MRF24J40MD/ME module must follow CE marking
requirements. The R&TTE Compliance Association
Technical Guidance Note 01 provides guidance on final
product CE marking.
TABLE 3-1: EUROPEAN COMPLIANCE TESTING
3.3.2
EXTERNAL ANTENNA
REQUIREMENTS
From R&TTE Compliance Association document Tech-
nical Guidance Note 01:
Provided the integrator installing an assessed radio
module with an integral or specific antenna and
installed in conformance with the radio module manu-
facturer's installation instructions requires no further
evaluation under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive and
does not require further involvement of an R&TTE
Directive Notified Body for the final product. [Section
2.2.4]
The European Compliance Testing listed in Table 3-1
was performed using the antenna types listed in
Table 2-1 Tested External Antenna Types.
3.3.3 HELPFUL WEB SITES
A document that can be used as a starting point in
understanding the use of Short Range Devices (SRD)
in Europe is the European Radio Communications
Committee (ERC) Recommendation 70-03 E, which
can be downloaded from the European Radio Commu-
nications Office (ERO) at: http://www.ero.dk/.
