REGULATORY APPROVAL
3.1
Europe
The MRF89XAM8A module conforms to the emission
and immunity standards summarized in 
. The
module tests can be applied toward final product
certification and DoC.
The European Standards do not provide a modular
approval similar to the USA (FCC) and Canada (IC).
However, the completed compliance testing can be
used as part of the customer's application for product
certification. The module test report data can be
included in the customer's product test plan and can
significantly lower customer's certification burden.
Depending on the end application, additional testing
may be required. The integrator is responsible for
testing the end product for any additional compliance
requirements that become necessary with this module
installed (for example, digital device emission, PC
peripheral requirements and so on) in the specific
country where end device is marketed.

A helpful document that can be used as a starting
point in understanding the use of Short Range Devices
(SRD) in Europe is the European Radio
