| FCC Regulations covering radio frequency remote control devices. If you offer remote controls, knowing you meet proper FCC Regulations is an absolute must, as FCC fines are heavy enough, to put you out of business! First off, let me say that I don't know of another tubular motor company, that offers proof of FCC authorization! But it's way too important, not to allow the customer to verify claims! Note that very many companies claiming to have FCC certification, in fact do not have the certification. That can subject you, as an end user, or as a company selling unlicensed remote controls, to a fine of up to $11,000.00 per unit (or per day, of non-compliance. Yes! That is eleven thousand US Dollars, per device! Our FCC Authorization is verifiable, at the following FCC website: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm?calledFromFrame=N From that page, enter the companies name, or the first three letters of the FCC ID code, to lookup proper authorization. Our FCC ID code begins with: VPW To enter company name, type: Storm Easy Shutters Inc Also, look at the external photo links, to be certain they supply you with the units that are licensed, and not another type of device, that might be unregistered.
The regulation (in part), that covers Remote Control Transmitters...... FCC Part 15 Label location , and Part 15 statement…. Section 15.19 Labeling requirements. (a) In addition to the requirements in Part 2 of this Chapter, a device subject to certification or verification shall be labeled as follows: (FCC ID is a specific code registered with the FCC, which must be permanently affixed to the device). (4) The label on these products shall be permanently affixed to the product and shall be readily visible to the purchaser at the time of purchase, as described in Section 2.925(d) of this chapter. "Permanently affixed" means that the label is etched, engraved, stamped, silk screened, indelibly printed, or otherwise permanently marked on a permanently attached part of the equipment or on a nameplate of metal, plastic, or other material fastened to the equipment by welding, riveting, or a permanent adhesive. The label must be designed to last the expected lifetime of the equipment in the environment in which the equipment may be operated and must not be readily detachable. It can not be affixed, to a removable part! Part 15 statement (must be on device, or included in instruction manual) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. (5) When the device is so small or for such use that it is not practicable to place the statement specified under paragraph (a) of this section on it, the information required by this paragraph shall be placed in a prominent location in the instruction manual or pamphlet supplied to the user or, alternatively, shall be placed on the container in which the device is marketed. However, the FCC identifier or the unique identifier, as appropriate, must be displayed on the device. ________________________________________________________ End of FCC Regulations quote If your supplier of remote control devices do not meet the above criteria, you are in serious jeopardy, of being fines $11,000 per unit, or $11,000 per day, if you persist on selling unlicensed remote equipment. Just because a company tells you they are FCC Authorized, check them out, to see that they are 100% up to spec, on the FCC regulations. Many, are not even FCC licensed! | |
