CE Certification
For Short Range Devices operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band the relevant Harmonized Standards are:
• EN 300 328 - radio equipment testing of data transmission equipment operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM Band
• EN 301 489 - electromagnetic compatibility
• EN 62479 - compliance to human exposure to electromagnetic fields
• EN 50566 + EN 62209-2 - for handheld and body-mounted devices
FCC ID
The FCC ID is a unique identifier, 4-17 characters, for the equipment and consists of two elements, the GranteeCode and the Equipment Product Code. The Grantee code is a three character alphanumeric string representingthe Grantee/Applicant. The Grantee Code always begins with an alphabetic character and does not contain thenumbers one or zero. The Grantee Code is assigned by the Commission permanently to a company forauthorization of all radio frequency equipment. The Product Code is the non-grantee code portion of the FCC IDthat begins after the first three characters. The Product Code may include hyphens and/or dashes (-). TheProduct code should consist of minimum 1 and maximum 14 characters.The FFC ID must be permanently marked either directly on the transmitter, or on a tag that is permanentlyaffixed to it. The FCC ID label must be readily visible to the purchaser at the time of purchase. For moreinformation, see the latest FCC regulations at the time of listing
Industry Canada (IC) CertificationIndustry Canada (IC) is the Canadian authority for certifications and standards making. As the FCC certification,the IC certification can either be done through IC or a TCB. An IC certification requires to have a Canadianrepresentative and a confirmation letter from the representative to be submitted with the application.There is no need for extra RF testing when applying for certification in Canada if the equipment is alreadycertified by FCC and meets the following conditions:
• The test report must be less than one year old
• The test house must have their Test Site (OATS or Anechoic chamber) approved by IC
• A cross-reference table must be submitted with the test report to show that the equipment meets all of theapplicable Canadian requirements.
IC-ID
As for equipment intended for the US market the radio/EVM needs to be marked with the IC-ID.
The IC-IDconsists of two pars: Company Number (CN) and a Unique Product Number (UPN) that is chosen by themanufacturer). To obtain a CN number, use the E-filling system. The CN will then be provided by e-mail.
