3 RF Compliance and Certification Although CC2640R2L is similar to CC2640R2F from an RF and pin compatibility perspective, a new regulatorycompliance certificate may be required if a PCB design is reused in production for the other device. This needsto be verified with an accredited test house, which needs to be made aware of the update to the BOM.
To obtain a waiver (if applicable) for drop in replacement, the customer may have to file an amendment to theregulatory authority notifying them of the differences between the two devices showing no RF performanceimpact.
If RF performance is impacted, a recertification may be required depending on the rules and regulation of thegoverning authority.
RF certification of the customer’s application and end equipment is the customer’s responsibility. The customeris solely responsible for the design, validation, and testing of its applications as well as for compliance with alllegal and regulatory requirements concerning its applications. Industry best practices generally require that thecustomer and their test house conduct qualification tests on actual applications taking into account possibleenvironmental and other conditions that the customer’s application may encounter. TI recommends consultingwith the accredited certification test house for further regulatory requirements.
