4.1 Product certification approval overview
Product certification approval is the process of certifying that a product has passed all tests and
criteria required by specifications, typically called “certification schemes”, which can be divided into:
• Regulatory certifications
o Country-specific approval required by local government in most regions and countries, as:
▪ CE (European Conformity) marking for European Union
▪ FCC (Federal Communications Commission) approval for the United States
• Industry certifications
o Telecom industry-specific approval verifying interoperability between devices and networks:
▪ GCF (Global Certification Forum)
▪ PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board)
• Operator certifications
o Operator-specific approvals required by some mobile network operator, such as:
▪ AT&T network operator in United States
▪ Verizon Wireless network operator in United States
The manufacturer of the end-device that integrates a SARA-R5 series module must take care of all
certification approvals required by the specific integrating device to be deployed in the market.
The required certification scheme approvals and relative testing specifications applicable to the
end-device that integrates a SARA-R5 series module differ depending on the country or the region
where the integrating device is intended to be deployed, on the relative vertical market of the device,
on type, features and functionalities of the whole application device, and on the network operators
where the device is intended to operate.
Table 46 summarizes the main approvals planned for SARA-R5 series modules.
