integration of radio modules
In compliance with Article 17 of Direc-
tive 2014/53/EU (RED), the manufacturer
checks whether the radio equipment is in
compliance with the essential requirements
of article 3 of the Directive.
The procedure used to check compliance
is at the manufacturer’s discretion.
If a radio module is built in a “non-radio”
equipment, the subject integrating the
module will become the manufacturer of
the end product and it must therefore check
the compliance of the end product with the
essential requirements of the 2014/53/EU
(RED) Directive.
As a matter of fact, the integration of radio
modules in other products can inuence
the compliance of the end product with the
essential requirements of the Directive.
definitions according to the law
The manufacturer is a natural person who

putting its own trademark or name on it.
An importer or distributor who places
radio equipment or electric material on the
market by putting its own name or trade-
mark becomes the manufacturer.
An importer or distributor who makes any
change to radio equipment or electric mate-
rial already placed on the market to such an
extent that the said change may condition
the compliance with the listed directives
is held to be the manufacturer and it must
therefore assume the relative obligations
according to the said directives.
