Advanced Compliance Solutions, Inc. has introduced an audit which includes the new EN 300 328 v1.8.1 wireless device standards. ACS id one of the only test labs in the United States to earn this approval.
This new standard will apply to all 2.4GHZ low-power radio devices sold or used in Europe, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It was created to make wireless technologies easier to co-exist in the 2.4 GHz band, according to the company.
Manufacturing companies of wireless and mobile devices are working to meet the new and revised product standard. New requirements of this standard include more complex testing, improvement of the 2.4GHz ISM band and encouragement of the use of the 5GHZ band.
“We have already used ACS to perform the EN 300 328 v1.8.1 testing for our wireless technologies. We wanted to be early to market with a product that complied with the new standard and ACS was there to help us. Given the evolving nature of our technology, it was great to find a lab in the US who could test for this new standard, and do such a great job at it. Their engineers really understood what was required, were able to communicate those requirements to us, and made the certification process extremely smooth,” Christopher Messick, compliance engineer at Synapse, said.
