MRF24WB0MA/MRF24WB0MB
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
MRF24WB0MA/MRF24WB0MB module must follow CE
marking requirements. The R&TTE Compliance Associ-
ation document “Technical Guidance Note 01” provides
guidance on final product CE marking.
does not require further involvement of an R&TTE
Directive Notified Body for the final product. See
Section 2.3.4, Standby State.
The European Compliance Testing listed in Table 3-1
was performed using the antenna types listed in
Section 2.8, External Antenna.
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 Com-
mittee (ERC) Recommendation 70-03 E, which can be
downloaded from the European Radio Communications
Office (ERO) at: http://www.ero.dk/.

Technical 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

3.4 Australia
The Australia radio regulations do not provide a modu-
lar approval policy similar to the United States (FCC)
and Canada (IC). However, MRF24WB0MA/
MRF24WB0MB module RF transmitter test reports can
be used in part to demonstrate compliance in accor-
dance with ACMA Radio communications “Short
Range Devices” Standard 2004 (The Short Range
Devices standard calls up the AS/NZS 4268:2008
industry standard). The MRF24WB0MA/
MRF24WB0MB module test reports can be used as
part of the product certification and compliance folder.
For more information on the RF transmitter test reports,
contact Microchip Technology Australia sales office.
To meet overall Australian final product compliance, the
developer must construct a compliance folder
containing all relevant compliance test reports, for
example RF, EMC, electrical safety and Declaration of
Conformity (DoC) and so on. Integrator must know
what is required in the compliance folder for ACMA
compliance. All test reports are available on the
MRF24WB0MA/MRF24WB0MB product web page at
http://www.microchip.com. For more information on
Australia compliance, refer to the Australian
Communications and Media Authority web site http://
www.acma.gov.au/.
3.4.1
EXTERNAL ANTENNA
REQUIREMENTS
The compliance testing listed in Table 3-1 was per-
formed using the antenna types listed in Table 2-2 in
Section 2.8, External Antenna.
