Compliance
CANBench TrueZ v1.2 — Schematic-stage refresh of the V1.1 fabricated prototype. V1.2 is electrically identical to V1.1 and carries the InvenTree-canonical component metadata; no V1.2 boards exist yet — testing and bring-up reference the V1.1 hardware.
Other versions: v1.1 — fabricated prototype (current)
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: V1.2 is a schematic-stage refresh (no boards built); the regulatory marks remain a forward-looking conformity claim and the formal Declaration of Conformity is pending (see the table below).
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 / regime | Position |
|---|---|
| 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 / UK | Lead-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 / REACH | Applicable as an electronic accessory; statements to be finalised with the DoC. |
| FCC | No 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.
