European Union regulatory compliance
⚠
Approval for NINA-W106, NINA-W136, NINA-W156 and NINA-B226 is pending.
Information about regulatory compliance of the European Union for NINA-W10 series modules is
available in the NINA-W10 Declaration of Conformity..
5.1.1
Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU
The NINA-W106, NINA-W136, NINA-W156 and NINA-B226 modules comply with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU.
5.1.2
Compliance with the RoHS directive
The NINA-W1 series modules complies with the Directive 2011/65/EU (EU RoHS 2) and its
amendment Directive (EU) 2015/863 (EU RoHS 3).
5.2
United States (FCC)
The NINA-W106, NINA-W136, NINA-W156 and NINA-B226 modules have received Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) CFR47 Telecommunications, Part 15 Subpart C “Intentional
Radiators” modular approval in accordance with Part 15.247 Modular Transmitter approval. The
modular approval allows the end user to integrate the module into a finished product without
obtaining subsequent and separate FCC approvals for intentional radiation, provided no changes or
modifications are made to the module circuitry. Changes or modifications could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment. The end user must comply with all of the instructions provided
by the Grantee, which indicate installation and/or operating conditions necessary for compliance.
The finished product is required to comply with all applicable FCC equipment authorizations
regulations, requirements and equipment functions not associated with the transmitter module
portion. For example, compliance must be demonstrated to regulations for other transmitter
components within the host product; to requirements for unintentional radiators (Part 15 Subpart B
“Unintentional Radiators”), such as digital devices, computer peripherals, radio receivers, etc.; and to
additional authorization requirements for the non-transmitter functions on the transmitter module
(i.e., Verification, or Declaration of Conformity) (e.g., transmitter modules may also contain digital
logic functions) as appropriate.
(OEM) Integrator has to assure compliance of the entire end-product incl. the integrated RF Module.
For 15 B (§15.107 and if applicable §15.109) compliance, the host manufacturer is required to show
compliance with 15 while the module is installed and operating.
Furthermore the module should be transmitting and the evaluation should confirm that the
module's intentional emissions (15C) are compliant (fundamental / out-of-band). Finally the
integrator has to apply the appropriate equipment authorization (e.g. Verification) for the new host
device per definition in §15.101.
Integrator is reminded to assure that these installation instructions will not be made available to the
end-user of the final host device.
