4.3 Taiwan

In Taiwan, NCC (National Communications Commission) approval is required for the

end product using ZigBits. In-country testing is required since FCC / CE certifications

are not accepted. ETSI / FCC will be the reference standard for certification

regulations. The probability of getting certified is high in case if the products already

hold FCC / CE certification.

4.4 China

The ZigBits and the ZigBit’s products that are to be used in China must under go in-

country certification as mentioned by SRRC (State Radio Regulatory Committee).

SRRC is a radio management of P.R China.

The product which even passes the FCC / CE certification must undergo in-country

testing and certification. But the probability of getting certified is high in case if the

products already hold FCC / CE certification.

4.5 Australia

RF Products that are used inside Australia must have the C-Tick mark. CE

declaration is recognized in Australia. The ACMA (Australian Communication and

Media Authority) accepts products that are tested for ETSI limits. The product has to

be registered with ACMA for obtaining and using the C-Tick mark.

5 SAR Requirements

SAR, Specific absorption rate, is a measure of radiated RF energy absorbed by a

human body tissue. SAR is expressed in watts per kilogram (W/kg) of biological

tissue. The ZigBit modules must undergo SAR tests and qualification before

commercial release if the device is operating with 20cm distance to the human body.

SAR is measured using special lab equipments and environments. The device under

test is placed in a phantom shell with tissue and checked for RF field exposure. The

phantom is in human body shape and the DUT is positioned in the head part and

body part. Probe positioner and device positioner are used to move the respective

devices and simulated data is acquired and analyzed.

SAR testing requirements on customer’s base board has to be decided, based on the

nature of intended application.

6 Appendix

6.1 Appendix A

Designers can use the ZigBit alone or with additional circuits on the base board. In

this case following points need to be taken care.

The custom product may contain any of the following circuits

1. High Voltage

2. Switching circuits
