Drones comprise an airframe, propulsion system, flight controller, remote control and video transmission links, and a battery. Testing for different markets identifies RF bands, complete-product EMC, battery transport and product category requirements, while distinguishing product compliance from operational flight requirements.
The remote controller, onboard video link, antennas, transmit power and battery configuration are reviewed to cover combined operating modes and charging accessories. For applicable EU class marking requirements, the product class, technical documentation and conformity assessment route are checked early.
GTG Group provides support from technical document review and test plan confirmation through sample validation, report delivery and certification applications. Testing of the complete product, battery, wireless modules and power supplies is coordinated according to the target market and product configuration, helping manufacturers identify design issues, verify corrections and prepare technical documentation.
Selected market access certifications for drones; applicable items are confirmed against the actual configuration
| Target Market | Radio Frequency | Electromagnetic Compatibility | Product Safety | Supporting Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| United States | Wireless functions assessed under FCC rules | Complete product assessed by applicable category | Determined by product use and procurement requirements | Battery, labels and technical documentation |
| European Union | RED assessed for products with wireless functions | Coordinated assessment under applicable regulations | Assessment route determined by product classification | Materials, technical documentation and drone class marking |
| China | Confirmed by frequency band and equipment category | Assessed against applicable product standards | Market access requirements checked by product category | Labels, manuals and product documentation |
| Japan | Confirmed by wireless equipment category | Confirmed by applicable equipment category | Product, battery and power supply classified separately | Japanese labeling and supporting documents |
| South Korea | Confirmed by wireless equipment category | Confirmed by intended equipment use | Confirmed by product and battery category | Marking and application documents |

Complete testing of the product, battery and wireless module against target market standards
| Test Category | Assessment Basis & Scope |
|---|---|
| Product Safety | Drone products for the EU are assessed against Regulation (EU) 2019/945 and related requirements according to the applicable class. Test scopes for remote control, video transmission, batteries and charging equipment are confirmed separately. |
| Electromagnetic Compatibility | Emissions and immunity tests are arranged according to the product category and operating environment, covering typical operating modes. |
| Radio Frequency | Test items are confirmed according to the target market, frequency bands, antennas and transmission modes. Existing module reports are reviewed for conditions of integration into the complete product. |
| Battery & Charging | Battery safety and transport tests are confirmed according to battery type, use and transport method. Charging protection in the complete product is also verified. |
| Performance & Environment | Test conditions and acceptance criteria address remote control and video link RF, complete-product EMC, battery safety and transport, loss-of-link response, propulsion and runtime, and class marking documentation. |
