Clarification on CE RED Compliance of nRF52840 Variants

[Gowsika]

Hello Nordic Semiconductor Team,

I would like to clarify a component change in our Bluetooth device design.

In our previous product, we used the nRF52840-QIAA-R component, whereas in our new product we are using the nRF52840-QIAA-F-R component.

Could you please confirm whether both components have the same compliance status with respect to CE RED requirements, including EMC, RF, and Safety standards? We would like to understand if the component change has any impact on CE RED certification and compliance.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Gowsika G

TLDR: should be no impact for you

in the notification mentioned "The new revision has no impact on ETSI, FCC or Bluetooth certifications unless the new pulse shaping filter is enabled" May i know does this Pulse shaping filter updated in nRF52840-QIAA-F-R revision?

This is stated in the IN.

The feature is available in the -F silicon but it is an OPT-IN feature so will only be used if your FW enables it. If your FW does not enable it then the change will have no impact on ETSI, FCC or Bluetooth certifications.
