Compliance & Certification Framework for mmWave Radar Sensors
AZJ Smart defines a structured compliance and certification framework to support regulatory alignment, risk control, and predictable certification outcomes for 60 GHz Human Presence mmWave Radar Sensor and 77 GHz Directional Motion & Zone Radar Sensor deployed in OEM and system integration programs.
Framework Overview
For 60 GHz Human Presence mmWave Radar Sensor and 77 GHz Directional Motion & Zone Radar Sensor, regulatory compliance is treated as a fundamental engineering requirement, integrated from architecture definition through production release.
The framework establishes clear responsibility boundaries, structured documentation, and certification readiness to support downstream system integration.
Compliance Philosophy
- Compliance requirements integrated at the radar sensor design stage
- Clear distinction between sensor-level and system-level compliance
- Documented RF and EMC test evidence for each sensor
- Predictable regulatory behavior across target markets
- Support for OEM-led system certification processes
Regulatory Scope
The compliance framework addresses major international regulatory environments applicable to 60 GHz Human Presence mmWave Radar Sensor and 77 GHz Directional Motion & Zone Radar Sensor.
| Region | Primary Regulations | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| European Union | CE / RED / RoHS | Radio equipment conformity, EMC behavior, electrical safety, and hazardous substance control. |
| North America | FCC | RF emission limits and electromagnetic compatibility. |
| International | IEC / ISO references | Safety, reliability, and alignment with engineering best practices. |
Radar Sensor vs System-Level Compliance
Compliance responsibilities are clearly differentiated between supplied radar sensors and the final integrated system.
| Level | Responsibility Definition |
|---|---|
| Sensor Level | Design conformity, RF characteristics, EMC behavior, and supporting compliance documentation for each sensor. |
| System Level | Final enclosure, power architecture, installation environment, and end-use application compliance. |
Design for Compliance
Compliance considerations are embedded into radar sensor hardware, firmware architecture, and documented integration assumptions.
- RF design aligned with regional emission limits
- EMC-conscious power and signal architecture
- Firmware-controlled operating modes and duty cycles
- Defined installation constraints and environmental assumptions
Compliance Documentation Structure
Structured sensor-level documentation is provided to support customer-led system certification processes.
Technical Description
Radar sensor architecture, operating principles, and functional scope definition.
Test Evidence
RF and EMC-related test reports generated during sensor development and validation.
Integration Guidelines
Installation assumptions, constraints, and system-level compliance considerations.
Certification Support Role
AZJ Smart supports OEMs and system integrators during certification planning and execution, without assuming ownership of final system certification.
Engineering teams provide clarification, documentation interpretation, and sensor-level technical support when required.
Change Management & Traceability
Radar sensor changes are evaluated for potential regulatory impact. Version traceability supports controlled updates and re-certification planning.
- Hardware revision tracking
- Firmware version identification
- Regulatory impact assessment
- Documentation update alignment
Framework Boundary
This framework defines sensor-level engineering readiness and support scope. Final certification decisions remain the responsibility of the system owner or OEM.
