Because its a product that uses a PICAXE.
There has been interest in the Lost Model Locator I did, its small, not too expensive parts wise and has a variety of detection options. If you have access to HAM radio gear the tracking range for the GPS co-ordinates is just silly.
Its a while since I worked in the Electronics industry, 20 years or so, and I am way out of touch with the vagaries of CE marking, and no contacts in an Electronics manufacturer.
I have done some online searching and although there is lots of stuff out there, its not at all clear if an RF device such as this (primarily on 434Mhz) can be self certified or not, or what sort of checks may be required in 'production' to check for emissions etc.
I realise there are approved bodies that will do compliance testing, but that can be very expensive, and more very expensive re-work and testing if the first check fails.
Any pointers or idiot guides to the process ?
