Hi Peter, I have tried figuring out a good way to include markings to the document the group created since you posted the question. It is not easy, if not possible. As Neil mentioned, there is no one rule fits all. If we really like to have a single source for the markings, I would suggest that we review what we have (please see the e-mail posted by Scott, our administrator) to determine if we should create one or modify//revise the one or ones we have. It maybe not necessary to have the radio approval markings included in the document we created as the markings apply to most of radio devices, not limit to low power ones. Please let me know if I can of any assistance. Sincerely, Grace

Consider the different marking requirements for FCC depending on whether the product is subject to Grant of Authorization, Certification, Declaration of Conformity, or Verification. There is no one rule fits all. Perhaps the list moderators could advise whether the IEEE server could support a database of graphic files for all the publicly available markings to be uploaded so that we could hyperlink them from the document? I think it would be helpful to have a resource for regulations such as RoHS and WEEE and the Batteries Directive, but I would not advise including it within the radio regulatory document, although it could be linked from it. Another useful bit of information, which could be included in the document, would be whether or not the regulatory regime involved in-country testing and/or the involvement of an in-country agent ( e.g. C-tick requires an Australian company registration ID in the marking).

"Barker, Neil" <[email protected]> wrote: Peter, People have been searching for the Holy Grail for nearly 2000 years, and I think what you are looking for is probably even more elusive!! You reference at least four EU Directives (five or six if you include the Toys Directive and/or the General Product Safety Directive to address the choking hazard), and will no doubt have to consult FCC and Industry Canada websites, and to get the artworks, will no doubt have to visit a multitude of regulatory authority websites. I have encountered the marketeers 'worldwide' statement before, but they seldom really mean that as they probably do not have distribution channels in literally every country. I would strongly recommend asking for a specific product launch plan, identifying all countries that they intend marketing to and a planned date of market entry for each so that you can prioritise your activities. While I don't think you will find a single source for the information you want, websites such as the European Radio Office and ITU may well provide links to many of the sources that you will! require. Don't forget the Wi-Fi document that was created on the emc-pstc website this year. It is now a really comprehensive source of information on 2.4 GHz requirements in most countries.
