Switchgear and controlgear and their assemblies for low voltage - Integration of radiocommunication device above 380 MHz into an equipment (IEC 63404:2024); German version EN IEC 63404:2024
Niederspannungsschaltgeräte und deren Niederspannungs-Schaltgerätekombinationen - Integration einer Funkkommunikationseinrichtung oberhalb 380 MHz in ein Gerät (IEC 63404:2024); Deutsche Fassung EN IEC 63404:2024
Overview
This document defines the procedures for integrating a radio device into host equipment using the classification of integration categories, the EMC immunity verification using a capability profile approach and verification of the unwanted emission level of the radio transceiver. The object of this document is to define the required evaluation when incorporating a radiocommunication device into a new or updated host equipment. This document does not cover radio technologies (for example, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.4), the assignment of radio frequencies, or the impact on use of the devices. As a result of the rapid development of radio technologies and the long service life of low-voltage switchgear, this document proposes a procedure for simplifying the updating of radio devices, including hardware or software, in existing host equipment. The object of this document is to limit the effort required to retest the host equipment when updating the radio device in low-voltage switchgear (for example, circuit breaker, sensor, electrical control panel, etcetera).
