FCC CFR 47 §15.19 Labelling requirements: The label shall not be a stick-on, paper label. 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 §2.925(d) of this chapter. Permanently affixed means that the label is etched, engraved, stamped, silkscreened, 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.
My interpretation: Stick-on, paper label is a label with paper surface. Such type of label can be damaged when exposed to humidity, water, etc. I have a lot of devices (here at the office) with FCC label and many of them have stick-on labels. But, they have plastic, vinyl, etc surface. Such a label will be more resistant than a paper label. But still its a stick-on label. In my opinion, it will be good enough to use a stick-on plastic label with permanent adhesive. The last question can be «what is permanent adhesive?». Any comments?
