Radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus and radio remote control apparatus

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR guides foreground data production for finished radar apparatus, radio navigational aid apparatus, and radio remote control apparatus. It covers fixed, mobile, vehicle-mounted, marine, aviation, industrial, and other apparatus when the delivered product performs radar detection, radio-navigation assistance, or radio remote-control functions and is supplied as a manufactured product.

The category includes complete apparatus and configured systems delivered with the electronic, radio-frequency, antenna, power, control, mechanical, cooling, cabling, software or firmware, and packaging elements required by the declared product configuration. Product-specific options and customer-furnished items are included only when they are part of the declared reference product.

This PCR excludes stand-alone general-purpose computers, telecommunication terminals, bare electronic components, cables sold separately, generic power supplies, vehicles or platforms carrying the apparatus, installation civil works, and spare parts supplied independently. It also excludes use, maintenance, and end-of-life burdens from the foreground manufacturing dataset; those stages require separately declared operating profiles, service lives, maintenance schedules, installation conditions, and end-of-life scenarios in downstream models.

Because performance, configuration, mass, duty cycle, and manufacturing route vary widely across this category, this PCR prescribes no category-wide material, energy, yield, or emission defaults. Producers shall collect configuration- and site-specific foreground records. A concrete data package shall select exact Tiangong identities for its purchased inputs, energy carriers, wastes, and elementary flows after declaring the apparatus subtype and manufacturing geography.
