When a manufacturer wants to launch a new product on the market, this product must comply with laws and regulations, including in the case of IoT. (Inter)national norms and standards have been drawn up for this purpose. In this article we briefly explain which standards and norms a IoT product usually must meet requirements to be sold on the European and International market.
CE marking on your product or IoT sensor
To place a CE mark on the product, it must comply with the applicable norms and standards for this product. For IoT products you usually have to deal with the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and a General Product Safety Guidelines. The RED assesses the product (within certain voltage limits) for health and safety requirements and no radio interference may be caused to other equipment. The EMC directive stipulates that an electronic product does not cause electromagnetic disturbance or is itself disturbed.
In addition, there are other characteristics of products for which you can receive a quality mark. For example, the IP protection class of a product: The IP security class, also called International Protection Rating, is a code for electrical equipment that represents the degree of security of the device in question. The code indicates to what extent the electronic device or housing is protected against moisture, water, touch, etc.
