Product Change Assessment Change Impact Assessment Assess the potential compliance impact of a product change before deciding what needs to be retested. Product changes do not always require a complete retest. However, even seemingly minor changes can affect EMC, RF, Safety, RF exposure, certification or the applicability of existing test reports. This wizard helps you identify which compliance areas may be affected and what should be reviewed before relying on your existing compliance evidence. Start assessment 01 / Existing Product What product are you changing? Product type * Electrical / electronic product Wireless / RF product IoT / connected product Medical device Lighting product Industrial equipment Consumer product Other Markets previously assessed EU UK USA Canada Other Compliance work already completed EMC testing RF / Radio testing Electrical Safety testing RF Exposure / MPE / SAR assessment Product Safety assessment Risk assessment FCC authorization ISED certification EU conformity assessment UKCA conformity assessment Other I don't know BackContinue 02 / What Has Changed? Which parts of the product have changed? Select all that apply. This is the core of the assessment. Hardware PCB layout PCB layer stack Component IC Processor / MCU Clock / oscillator Power supply DC/DC converter AC/DC supply Battery Motor Display Sensor Cable Connector Grounding Shielding Enclosure / housing Mechanical construction Internal wiring External wiring RF / Wireless RF module RF chipset Antenna Antenna position Antenna gain Antenna type RF output power Frequency Frequency range Operating mode Duty cycle Modulation Firmware affecting RF operation New radio technology New frequency band Software / Firmware Firmware update Software update New operating mode New functionality Changed communication protocol Changed RF parameters Changed power management Changed clock frequencies Changed user-accessible functions Product Configuration New accessory Existing accessory changed Power supply changed Different battery Different cable Different enclosure New product variant New configuration Product combination changed Manufacturing Different component supplier Component replacement due to availability Alternative BOM Manufacturing location changed Production process changed Other / describe the change BackContinue 03 / Change Magnitude & Evidence How significant is the change? Is the new configuration already available? Prototype Engineering sample Production sample Not yet available Is the changed component electrically identical? Yes No Not sure Is the changed component functionally equivalent? Yes No Not sure Does the change affect the physical layout? No Minor Significant Not sure Does the change affect the electrical characteristics? No Minor Significant Not sure Does the change affect RF characteristics? No Minor Significant Not applicable Not sure Existing documentation / evidence Previous test report Previous EMC report Previous RF report Safety report RF exposure assessment FCC grant / authorization ISED certification EU technical documentation Risk assessment Previous test setup / configuration Previous schematics BOM Product drawings Was the previous product tested in its final production configuration? Yes No Not sure Were the changed components/configurations included in the original testing? Yes No Not sure BackContinue 04 / Final Assessment Your Change Impact Assessment Back Print / Save as PDF Start again Confirm Email Address Please enter your email address to unlock the download for the assessment document.
