The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has imposed a set of new regulations for RFID technology, including authorization, marketing, importation and even the labeling of low-power RF devices, as well as increasing enforcement of its RF equipment authorization rules. These rules apply not only to RFID equipment manufacturers, importers and vendors, but to end users of the technology as well. Gain an understanding of the pertinent FCC rules and how they apply to RFID equipment. The mandatory post-market telecommunications bodies’ surveillance will be discussed, as well as the FCC’s practice of trolling websites, looking for violations. Learn why all RFID stakeholders should have good quality control and a solid compliance plan, including working with knowledgeable professionals to prepare a best practices guide. Additionally, learn how to expand your market overseas. Importing and marketing RFID equipment in foreign countries can be daunting. Equipment authorization procedures vary greatly from country to country. The speaker will discuss how to market RFID equipment internationally, while staying in compliance with applicable regulations.
