Compliance & CE

Alteron places the Node products on the EU market under its own name and is therefore the legal manufacturer under Article 12 of the Radio Equipment Directive. For the wall panels we build on an established hardware platform and take full manufacturer responsibility for the finished product — the technical file, the conformity assessment and the CE marking. The Node Pulse sensor, together with all Node firmware and cloud software, is developed and assessed in-house. Each product is assessed to meet the applicable European Union directives and to carry the CE marking. This page summarises the framework we work to; the binding statement for any specific product is its EU Declaration of Conformity.

The CE marking on a Node panel declares that Alteron, as manufacturer, takes responsibility for the product's conformity with the relevant EU legislation. Each product is supported by a technical file and the harmonised standards applied; the signed EU Declaration of Conformity is kept on record and made available to authorities once the full assessment is complete.

Because the panels contain Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios, the Radio Equipment Directive is the primary framework and covers safety and electromagnetic compatibility for radio equipment:

• Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU — radio, EMC and electrical safety for radio equipment.
• RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU — restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
• WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU — waste electrical and electronic equipment (take-back and recycling).
• REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 — control of substances of very high concern.

Conformity is demonstrated against harmonised standards, which typically include the following (exact versions are recorded in each product's technical file):

• EN 300 328 — wideband transmission systems in the 2.4 GHz band (Wi-Fi / Bluetooth).
• EN 301 489-1 and -17 — electromagnetic compatibility for radio equipment.
• EN IEC 62368-1 — safety of audio/video and information technology equipment.
• EN 62311 / EN 50665 — assessment of human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
• EN IEC 63000 — technical documentation for the assessment of restriction of hazardous substances.

Node panels operate on the 2.4 GHz band for Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth, within the power limits set by EU regulation. The panels are not intended for connection to 5 GHz networks. The equipment may be operated in all EU member states.

A simplified EU Declaration of Conformity for each Node product is provided below in template form. The Node P8 platform has been tested against the harmonised safety, EMC and radio standards listed above; the RED cybersecurity assessment (EN 18031) is in progress, with the report expected within two weeks. The binding, signed declaration for a specific model — with its serial range, the standards applied and the authorised signatory — will be issued with the product once that assessment closes. Current status is available on request from privacy@alteron.se.

Node panels are electronic equipment and must not be discarded as unsorted household waste. The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol indicates separate collection. At end of life, return the equipment through an approved WEEE collection scheme or to us for recycling. Alteron meets its producer-responsibility obligations for electrical and electronic equipment placed on the Swedish market.

Node panels are designed to comply with the RoHS Directive on the restriction of hazardous substances and with REACH regarding substances of very high concern. We select components and suppliers to meet these requirements and keep supporting documentation in the technical file.

Compliance is not only about hardware. Node is built to GDPR requirements: data is hosted in the EU, every record is scoped to its organisation, devices authenticate with individually revocable credentials, and panels never hold shared keys or talk to external calendars directly. See our Privacy Policy for details on how personal data is handled.

We aim for the Node web application and panel interface to be usable by everyone and design towards the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and the harmonised standard EN 301 549, in the spirit of the European Accessibility Act. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, tell us at info@alteron.se and we will work to address it.
