Australia
The Australia radio regulations do not provide a modu-
lar approval policy similar to the United States (FCC)
and Canada (ISED). However, RN4020 module RF
transmitter test reports can be used in part to demon-
strate compliance in accordance with ACMA Radio
communications “Short Range Devices” Standard
2004 (The Short Range Devices standard calls up the
AS/NZS 4268:2008 industry standard). The RN4020
module test reports can be used as part of the product
certification and compliance folder. For more informa-
tion on the RF transmitter test reports, contact Micro-
chip Technology Australia sales office.
To meet overall Australian final product compliance, the
developer must construct a compliance folder contain-
ing all relevant compliance test reports e.g. RF, EMC,
electrical safety and DoC (Declaration of Conformity)
etc. It is the responsibility of the integrator to know what
is required in the compliance folder for ACMA compli-
ance. All test reports are available on the RN4020
product web page at
. For
more information on Australia compliance, refer to the
Australian Communications and Media Authority web
site

New Zealand
The New Zealand radio regulations do not provide a
modular approval policy similar to the United States
(FCC) and Canada (ISED). However, RN4020 module
RF transmitter test reports can be used in part to
demonstrate compliance against the New Zealand
“General User Radio License for Short Range
Devices”. New Zealand Radio communications (Radio
Standards) Notice 2010 calls up the AS / NZS
4268:2008 industry standard. The RN4020 module test
reports can be used as part of the product certification
and compliance folder. All test reports are available on
the RN4020 product web page at
. For more information on the RF transmitter
test reports, contact Microchip Technology sales office.

Japan
The RN4020 module has received type certification
and is labeled with its own technical conformity mark
and certification number as required to conform to the
technical standards regulated by the Ministry of Internal
Affairs and Communications (MIC) of Japan pursuant
to the Radio Act of Japan.
Integration of this module into a final product does not
require additional radio certification provided installa-
tion instructions are followed and no modifications of
the module are allowed. Additional testing may be
required:
• If the host product is subject to electrical appli-
ance safety (for example, powered from an AC
mains), the host product may require Product
Safety Electrical Appliance and Material (PSE)
testing. The integrator should contact their confor-
mance laboratory to determine if this testing is
required.
• There is an voluntary Electromagnetic Compatibil-
ity (EMC) test for the host product administered
