Meaning
Certification parameters define the specific frequencies, power limits, and antenna configurations permitted under an official equipment authorization. The grant scope outlines the boundary within which a wireless module can be integrated into a host system without requiring new regulatory testing. It dictates the allowed exposure conditions, such as mobile or portable use, and the maximum gain of the antennas.
It is issued by a telecommunication certification body on behalf of regulatory agencies.
Integration Limit
Compliance parameters restrict how a pre-certified radio module can be used in finished goods. The grant scope establishes whether the module requires additional evaluation for human exposure when placed close to the body. If the host design falls outside these boundaries, the integrator must apply for a permissive change or a new certification.
Power Limit
Output levels are restricted to ensure the device operates safely within licensed bands. The grant scope lists the maximum conducted power and the equivalent isotropically radiated power for each transmitter band. Integrators must configure their device firmware to prevent the transmitter from exceeding these limits.
Antenna Specification
Authorized transducers must be matched to the transmitter in terms of type and maximum gain. A change in the antenna style beyond what is defined in the grant scope requires further engineering evaluation.
