I have a question about use of a none certified device in the USA and Canada. We have acquired an off the shell RFID system, which has not yet gone through any certification (they will be certifying it shortly). We are integrating this into our printers. The printers will use this device to read and write information to the tags as they pass through the printer. While we are working on this we have customers who would like to start working on getting this integrated into their production systems. The FCC says that until we certify it we can not offer the product for sale or lease, etc. Could we put the following label on the product :
"This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained." Then sell a development kit to the customer that included a printer with the uncertified unit in it (to a very limited number of people). Then when we are done with the certifications, swap the development printers/RFID units out for ones that are certified?
