Regional regulatory agency approval may be required to operate UGWSX933SM0033U throughout the world. For purposes of ease of integration, time to market, and product surety, Unigen submitted UGWSX933SM0033U to relevant agencies and obtained regulatory approvals for specific countries. UGWSX933SM0033U was approved under the “Modular Approval (MA) Grant”. This certification represents a significant cost savings to the OEM. The radio certification portion of this grant is transferable to Digital Electronic Device manufacturers given adherence to specific implementation criteria noted herein. Any modification of the UGWSX933SM0033U will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Any alteration or deviation from the documented installation and/or use of the UGWSX933SM0033U will void the MA Grant as it applies to the end-product. In the event the Digital Electronic Device manufacturer alters the herein described and approved installation of the UGWSX933SM0033U, the end-product may require a complete battery of regulatory agency certification test Digital Electronic Device manufacturer may be required to submit to a complete battery of tests, depending on the requirements noted in the region they wish to sell their product. The MA Grant provides that Digital Electronic Device manufacturers who incorporate UGWSX933SM0033U as tested and approved, and can be relieved from having to perform the Radio Regulatory certification portion of the respective agency certification. The MA Grant is valid only in countries that recognize the MA Grant certification process. Countries currently accepting the MA Grant include; the USA, Canada, and many European countries as noted in the General User Guide Requirements Section of this document. Terms and conditions of regulatory approval for these countries are also described herein. However, this “grandfathered” radio certification does not relieve the Digital Electronic Device manufacturers from submitting their device for digital emissions certifications. Electronic device manufacturers may disregard the requirements of this section provided they accept full responsibility for regulatory type-approval of the electronic device with an integrated UGWSX933SM0033U wireless module.

This directive supports self directed testing and certification for “harmonized” bands within OEM facilities or by third party. In the case of WiFi, standards have become harmonized (although frequencies are not). The R&TTE directive no longer requires a Technical Construction File however; frequency notification to EU countries is still applicable. Article 6 of the R&TTE directive states: “The manufacturer or the person responsible for placing the apparatus on the market provides information for the user on the intended use of the apparatus, together with the declaration of conformity to the essential requirements.” Ensuring regulatory compliance of the end product is the sole responsibility of the OEM. Unigen maintains responsibility for conformance of the UGWSX933SM0033U, the interconnect, and the antennae, as the manufacturer. The R&TTE directive maintains that first level compliance be reviewed by a “Notified Body” prior to general product marketing. This is not mandatory, but reduces the risk of the product being challenged for non-compliance. Although not specifically stated in the R&TTE Directive, corrections of non-compliance issues are the responsibility of the end product manufacturer.

The module is certified by the regulatory authorities in the USA and Canada and complies with the applicable essential requirements of the Radio & Telecommunication Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) directive in the EU. The module can thus be incorporated into products sold worldwide with little or no additional testing of the module itself. The end product must meet the appropriate technical requirements that apply to that product type but re-certification of the radio module is not required in the USA and Canada. In the EU, the integrator is responsible for evaluating their product type per the essential performance requirements of the R&TTE directive (except those associated with the module), declaring compliance and then notifying the member states prior to marketing the product (because the module uses a frequency band that is not harmonized in the EU).

Using higher gain antennas and types of antennas not certified for use with this product is not allowed. The device shall not be co-located with another transmitter.” French – “Installez l'appareil en veillant à conserver une distance d'au moins 20 cm entre les éléments rayonnants et les personnes. Cet avertissement de sécurité est conforme aux limites d'exposition définies par la norme CNR-102 at relative aux fréquences radio.” Antenna Limitations (RSS-GEN) Per RSS-GEN, section 7.1.2 – “Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.” French – “Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.” Per RSS-GEN, section 7.1.2 (detachable antennas)– “This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.” Fench – “Le présent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur”.
