If we used a pre-certified Cypress Wi-Fi modules, do we still need to go thought the FCC radiator test ?
Or we only need to go through FCC un-intentional radiator product test only.
And does it works similar for CE and other certifications ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Pre-Certified or Reference Certified
Assumptions: Customer doesn’t change any portion of the Pre-Certified module design. For Reference Certified, customers must copy the module partner design exactly (ex. layout/dxf file and antenna design that Module partner provides).
Required for either:
- Additional testing may be required depending class A or B designation (below)
- FCC testing such as unintentional radiation etc. for overall device (sub part 15B)
- FCC compliance declaration at Device level (47 CFR chapter 1 subpart B)
- Request for change in FCC ID to Module Partner FCC ID for intentional radiation
- Letter of Authorization from Module Partner (Customer or Lab will request from Module Partner)
Notes:
- Class A: Digital Device for use in a commercial, industrial or business environment.
- Class B: Digital Device for use in a residential environment not withstanding use in commercial, business and industrial environments.
- If antenna change is a must, the FCC provides a class 2 permissive change procedure provided the new Antenna is of similar gain.

hello:
I think it is a Yes for the FCC and CE certification if module already passed the certification.
The reason is you will design the Module as a new product, you will change the FW, you will change the power setting, you will have changes on Antenna route , layout . The EMC environment is also changed in your product , so it should need the test again.

Which Cypress module partner are you working with today? I ask because the level of certification can vary from full pre-cert to "reference" type certification used on many of the SIP based modules from our partners.

I am talking about fully pre-certified module with antenna, not something 'certification ready' type of things.
Do I still to to run the intention radiator full test for FCC, CE, etc.
Or just the non-intention radiator test for the product is necessary.
