6 Regulatory compliance
This chapter describes the current approval status of certification in each country and the regulatory
requirements that must be met when using NORA-W10 modules in an end product.
6.1 Country approvals
NORA-W10 modules are certified for use in different regions and countries, such as Europe, Great
Britain, USA, and Canada. See also the NORA-W10 series data sheet
[2] for a list of approved
countries/regions where NORA-W10 modules are approved for use. Each market has its own
regulatory requirements that must be fulfilled, and NORA-W10 series modules must comply with the
requirements for a radio transmitter in each of the listed markets.
In some cases, limitations must be placed on the end-product that integrates a NORA-W10 module
to comply with the regulatory requirements.
This chapter describes the limitations and requirements that a module integrator must take into
consideration and is divided into different sections for each market.
⚠
This information in this chapter reflects u- blox’ interpretation of different regulatory
requirements of a radio device in each country/region. It does not cover all the requirements placed
on an end-product that uses the radio module of u-blox or any other manufacturer.
6.2 European Union regulatory compliance
For information about the regulatory compliance of NORA-W10 series modules against requirements
and provisions in the European Union, see the NORA-W10 Declaration of Conformity
[11] .
6.2.1 Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU
NORA-W10 series modules comply with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of
Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU.
6.2.2 Compliance with the RoHS directive
NORA-W10 series modules comply with the Directive 2011/65/EU (EU RoHS 2) and its amendment
Directive (EU) 2015/863 (EU RoHS 3).
6.2.3 CE End-product regulatory compliance
For guidance concerning end product marking in accordance with RED go to: http://ec.europa.eu/.
For guidance concerning the restrictions while operating the NORA-W10 in Wi-Fi mode in European
countries, see
European Union regulatory compliance .
⚠
The EIRP of the NORA-W10 module must not exceed the limits of the regulatory domain that the
module operates. Depending on the host platform implementation and antenna gain, integrators
must limit the maximum output power of the module through the host software. For information
about the corresponding maximum transmit power levels, see the
Pre-approved antennas list .
