§ Regulatory & compliance
The compliance boundary, in writing.
Module-level material declarations, reliability data, and integration notes — open, no sales gate. End-product certifications (CE / FCC / UKCA) are the integrator's responsibility, and we ship the documentation you need to do that certification cleanly.
§ What we provide
For the module itself.
Two distinct deliverables for every shipping E1M SoM: material and environmental declarations, and module-level reliability data. Both apply to the SoM as a component and are signed by Alp Lab AB.
§ A — Material & environmental
The module
-
RoHS 3
EU 2015/863 — restriction of hazardous substances, lead-free
-
REACH SVHC
Substance disclosure per current ECHA candidate list
-
POPs
EU 2019/1021 — Persistent Organic Pollutants regulation
-
California Prop 65
Warning declarations for sales into California
-
Halogen-free declaration
PCB substrate + solder mask, where applicable
-
Conflict Minerals
Dodd-Frank §1502 / EU 2017/821 — RMI CMRT (Conflict Minerals Reporting Template)
-
WEEE 2012/19/EU
End-of-life take-back registration in EU member states
§ B — Reliability & qualification
The module
-
MTBF report
Telcordia SR-332 method, per module — failure-rate prediction at ground-benign and ground-fixed-controlled
-
Operating temperature grade
Commercial / industrial (−40 °C to +85 °C) / extended industrial — declared per SKU
-
Vibration + shock
IEC 60068-2-6 (vibration), IEC 60068-2-27 (shock) — module-level qualification results
-
ESD immunity
Module-level qualification per IEC 61000-4-2 (contact + air)
-
Long-term reliability
Humidity cycling (IEC 60068-2-78), thermal shock (IEC 60068-2-14), HALT/HASS data on request
§ C — Radio modules (when applicable)
Pass-through certifications
For SoMs that include on-module wireless, we pass through the radio sub-module vendor's certifications and document the integration constraints. Your end product still needs its own end-product certification.
-
FCC modular grant
Pass-through of the on-module radio vendor’s grant. Antenna requirements and host-product labelling rules ship in the integration notes. Your end product still needs FCC SDOC.
-
IC modular grant (Canada)
Pass-through of the on-module radio vendor’s Innovation Canada modular grant for SoMs that include certified wireless.
-
CE / RED 2014/53/EU
Radio Equipment Directive pass-through for the radio sub-module only. Your end-product DoC is your responsibility.
§ What's the integrator's responsibility
End-product certification you do at your level.
An SoM is a component, not a finished product. The certifications below apply to the integrated end product and stay with you as the product manufacturer. We don't issue any of these for you — but we make them easier to obtain (see the next section).
- End-product CE marking
- Your integration into the final product — the module is one component of many.
- End-product FCC Part 15 SDOC
- Final-product Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity for unintentional radiators.
- End-product UKCA marking
- UK conformity for the integrated product, post-Brexit.
- EMC / EMI testing at end-product level
- Radiated + conducted emissions, immunity, and ESD on the finished product.
- Functional safety
- IEC 61508 (industrial), ISO 26262 (automotive), IEC 62304 (medical software) — system-level, not module-level.
- Medical / automotive / industrial safety
- IEC 60601, ISO 14971, IATF 16949, etc. — end-product certifications carried by the OEM.
§ What we ship to make your certification cleaner
Documentation + engineering, so you don't start from zero.
Certifying an integrated edge-AI product is faster when you start from a known-good module. These are the artifacts we provide on top of the material + reliability set.
Pre-compliance EMC scan results
Module-level radiated and conducted emissions characterisation. Lets you predict end-product margin before booking accredited lab time.
Integration notes
Antenna placement, ground-plane stitching, decoupling guidance — written so your end product clears FCC Part 15 and CE EMC on first attempt.
Reference-design EMC reports
Carrier boards that have themselves achieved end-product CE / FCC on a customer programme. Build on a known-good baseline.
Engineering support for end-product certification
Paid service — design review, pre-scan with our partner labs, and direct support through your accredited test house.
§ Per-module index
Compliance, module by module.
Every E1M SoM, the declarations it carries, and a one-click route to the per-module compliance snapshot. Bundles are issued per hardware revision and dispatched within one business day.

§ End-of-life & change notification
Long-term availability, on the record.
Industrial customers design for ten-year product lifetimes. Our Product Change Notification (PCN) and End-of-Life (EOL) policy is written down, applied to every shipping module, and triggered from the same ERPNext system that handles fulfilment.
§ PCN window
6 months · major. 3 months · minor.
Major changes (silicon revision, mechanical, electrical envelope) ship with six months advance notice. Minor changes (component substitution within the qualified ALV) ship with three months. Notifications include a delta diff against the last datasheet revision.
§ Last-time buy
6 months from EOL notice.
When a SoM enters end-of-life, customers have a six-month window to place last-time-buy orders against the existing revision. Lifetime buys above standard MOQ are accommodated; contact procurement to lock pricing and lead time.
§ Subscribe to PCNs
Get every change in your inbox.
One email per notification, scoped to the modules you design with. We never send marketing through this channel — only change notices and EOL alerts.
Full PCN, last-time-buy, and availability terms live on the lifecycle policy page.
§ Need a specific document?
Tell us the module and the document — we'll send it.
Signed RoHS / REACH / POPs statements, CMRT reports, MTBF and pre-compliance EMC scans — issued per module revision and routed directly to your compliance team. Engineering support for your end-product certification is a paid service we offer.
