1. Notebook PCs equipped with WLAN, BT or WWAN modules can’t be certified as a system approval. Instead, it can only be certified as a limited module specified with certain host. The model and brand name of the laptop will then be listed on the certificate.
The applicant can be the module manufacturer or Notebook PC manufacturers.
2. For WWAN modules applying NCC approval, the main tests will be CNS 13438 and PLMN01/PLMN08.
Safety test will be required when the EUT is headset or certain platform as laptop PCs with WWAN module inside.
Per NCC 20090211 Technical Meeting Minutes, “platform” is defined for a device with multi-functions, for example, Notebook PC, fax machine; PDA, cell phone, USB modem dongle, game player are excluded.
As for CNS 14958-1 & CNS 14959 SAR test, it will be required only when the devices with the operating configuration of head, for example, cell phones.
3. Class II permissive change for alternating additional antennas onto a certified WWAN module, the ID will be same as the original. The technical justification policy of alternating antennas is same as LP0002 as follows:
-Same type antenna with higher gain, only radiated spurious emission test is required; same type antenna with lower gain, no test required but need to do the registration.
-Different type antenna from original, only radiated spurious emission test is required.
Per NCC 20090602 Technical Meeting Minutes, all antennas’ specifications and photos shall be documented and submitted for review; and per NCC 20090406 Technical Meeting Minutes, all antennas submitted will be listed into NCC certificate as LP0002 applications.
4. Class II permissive change for adding a portable host as laptop PC, additional tests of CNS 13438 EMI and CNS 14336 or IEC 60950-1 Safety tests are required. The ID will be the same as the original per NCC 20090427 Technical Meeting Minutes.
5. WWAN devices applying NCC applications have been asked for additional tests as follows in spite of these tests are listed in the related standards of PLMN01 and PLMN08 from the beginning.
-Frequency error, including multi-path and vibration tests as specified in item 6 of section 3 of PLMN01/PLMN08.
-Radiated spurious emission tests as specified in item 5 of section 3 of PLMN01; and item 8 of section 3.1 and section 3.2 of PLMN08.
- GCF test or provide an attestation letter, declaring that the device has met the related requirements per Annex C of PLMN01.
