Group, Thanks for the responses I got to my inquiry regarding 'e-labeling' - using the product itself to display regulatory information. I got fewer responses than I had hoped. One responder mentioned that as an OEM, he had a lot of headaches from a large PC manufacturer who used an 'e-labeling' scheme. Another mentioned that he had explored this as well, and didn't get very far with gettting buy-in from various agencies.
However, for those of you who may have been interested, the FCC did respond to the inquiry I made to them. From Rich Fabina, OET Equipment Authorization Branch Chief: The Commission recently declined to accept FCC ID labels on an LCD screen display in ET Docket No. 00-47 (FCC 01-264). In Paragraphs 33 to 35 of this rulemaking on software defined radios, electronic labeling is discussed. The final word on it was the last sentence of Paragraph 35, "At this time, we are only permitting electronic labeling for software defined radios." You may obtain a copy of this rulemaking by going to http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Orders/2001/fcc01264.txt. Clearly this is an area that the Commission has considered but is not ready to move forward with its implementation. Doug Massey Lead Regulatory Engineer LXE, Inc. Ph.
