Compile a checklist of the product’s intended use, sales markets, power supply and wireless configuration to help define the testing scope and sample arrangements.

Start with target markets and product configurations to coordinate document preparation, testing and assessment of report reuse.

Check specifications, BOMs, manuals and software versions before submitting samples to reduce communication and resubmission caused by inconsistent documentation.

Clearly defined operating modes, interfaces and accessory lists help make EMC testing preparation more efficient.

List critical components, power supplies and communications configurations by model to reduce document version mix-ups and missing sample information.

Improve testing document traceability through records of models, hardware, firmware and critical component versions.

Changes to antennas, RF parameters, modules and firmware should be included in complete product documentation and testing impact assessments.

Lithium battery shipping documents should match the product model and battery configuration and be managed separately from complete product market-access documents.

Prepare specifications, circuit diagrams, critical component lists, software versions, protection logic, operating instructions and existing reports. Identify differences between models in the series and specify the target markets.

Develop the plan based on target markets, capacity, power, test combinations and existing documentation. Confirm separately the batteries for destructive tests, representative complete products and accessories. Turnaround time follows the project plan established after assessment.

Confirm the permitted battery voltage, capacity, cables, protection devices and charging capability. Assess safety, charging time and performance limits after expansion.

Agree on battery capacity and condition, charging conditions, ambient temperature, and load power and characteristics, then record how long power is supplied until the specified discharge termination conditions are reached.
