Radio and electrical routes
How a market's radio authorisation and electrical approvals determine what may be offered, why they are per-market and per-model, and where a certificate identifier comes from.

Radio equipment and mains-connected switching are both regulated, and both are regulated per market. The same model may be lawful in one destination and not in another, and a certification identifier is a fact about a specific model, band and document — not a badge that attaches to a family. This document describes the routes and the evidence, and states no certificate identifier, because a looked-up or remembered identifier is exactly the kind of unverified number this set refuses to print.
The two routes
Radio authorisation
Each destination market allocates radio spectrum and requires equipment operating there to be authorised against its rules. The band a model may use, and whether that model is authorised at all, follows the market pack rather than the language a visitor happens to be reading. The market pack is the single configuration source; a page must not present a model as available in a market until the pack says it is.
Electrical approvals
Mains-connected switching also carries its own approvals — safety, and in many markets a requirement for an authorised importer or responsible person. These too are per-market and per-model, and they gate what a page may display: where the destination is not approved, the site says so and does not show a price or an order path.
How availability is decided
- Determine the destination market for the project.
- Read the market pack for that market's radio and electrical status.
- Read the model page for the specific model's authorisations and the document identifiers behind them.
- Where a market is not approved, treat the model as unavailable there and route the enquiry with the correct compliance status.
Only a written authorisation held today is stated as held. In-progress or planned authorisations are labelled as such and are never shown as held.
Evidence
- Certification identifiers, issuing bodies and document numbers are published on the certifications page and on the model pages, referenced by model.
- A test report that supports a claim is referenced from the claim; a claim without a reference is not published.
- Because the identifiers are facts tied to a model and a band, they are not restated in this document.
Placeholder — pending engineering sign-off: certificate identifiers, issuing bodies, the market-by-market authorisation matrix and the importer or responsible-person details per market are not published here. They are held in the certifications record and are released per model and per market once issued.
Limitations
- No certificate number, test report reference or market approval statement appears on this page by design. Each is specific to a model, a band and a market, and is published only when it exists.
- Radio authorisation is not transferable between bands or markets, so a compliance statement for one destination says nothing about another.
What this document does not cover: the electrical characteristics of a specific model are on its model page, and the survey that decides the in-site link is in Coverage and site survey. Where a compliance question affects quoting, the project enquiry captures the destination country so the correct status is applied.
