RE: Are nRF5x official devkits CE/FCC certified?

Hi,

Our DK is not certified for CE/FCC. You need to it on your own. And what Roger said is correct, you need to re-certify if you connect any other hardware to it.

FCC applies for the hardware not the software. Approval is done with the transmitter emitting a modulated carrier at 100 % duty cycle and with worst case scenario (max TxPower for example).

I have both nRF52 DK's and neither of them have the FCC or CE logo's.

I presume they are not certified as they are not a product, and fall under the category of an evaluation / development device in terms of the FCC legal requirements.

Anyway, as soon as you connect any other hardware to a certified board, it becomes a new product in terms of the FCC and CE and would need to be certified as a whole including your additional hardware e.g. if you connected a shield.
