Compliance

Hardware version

CANBench TrueZ v1.1 — Fabricated prototype, sole built unit. V1.1 is electrically identical to the V1.2 schematic refresh but predates the InvenTree symbol-library migration; the schematic component metadata reflects legacy SCADYS naming. Testing and bench validation reference this V1.1 hardware.

Other versions: v1.2 — schematic refresh (next version)

Overview

The CANBench TrueZ is a passive, non-powered RF test accessory — no active devices, no radio, no mains connection. As a passive bench measurement instrument it carries no marine / NMEA 2000 compliance obligation. Its regulatory position rests primarily on the RoHS material basis rather than on emissions / immunity testing.

Status: V1.1 is a fabricated prototype; the regulatory marks on the silkscreen are a forward-looking conformity claim and the formal Declaration of Conformity is pending (see the table below).

Prototype status

V1.1 is a fabricated prototype. The PCB silkscreen carries the regulatory marks as a forward-looking conformity claim; a formal Declaration of Conformity and any required test reports are pending. Do not treat V1.1 as a certified product.

Mark / regimePosition
CE (EU)On a RoHS basis — passive accessory; no powered emitter, so no RED/EMC active-emissions scope. DoC pending.
UKCA (UK)Equivalent RoHS basis for the GB market.
RoHS — EU / UKLead-free / restricted-substance compliant build intent (EU 2011/65, UK SI 2012/3032).
RoHS — China (EFUP)China RoHS / EFUP mark carried on the silkscreen.
WEEE / REACHApplicable as an electronic accessory; statements to be finalised with the DoC.
FCCNo intentional radiator; passive accessory — no active-emitter FCC scope.

Why so light

TrueZ contains only two RF transformers and a passive resistor/capacitor network. It draws no power and emits nothing of its own; it is connected only between a LISN and a spectrum analyser on the bench. The compliance burden is therefore the material (RoHS) and waste (WEEE) regimes rather than emissions/immunity testing.

Note that TrueZ is a tool used for conducted-emissions diagnosis (per CISPR 25); that standard is the measurement context, not a certification the device itself carries.
