Hello all,
Since sending my e-mail below, I have been corrected that actually it is quite unlikely that the NFC will be below the Japanese 'extremely low power limit', and therefore be careful not to just dismiss it too quickly. Many of these NFC devices are above that threshold and therefore do require Japanese certification too. Thanks, Michael.

USA. FCC Certification to FCC 15.225 Test lab must presently be listed with FCC, but will require a recognised accreditation very soon. Unlicensed transmitter, but certification is required. Canada. ISED Certification to RSS-210 Test lab must be listed with ISED. Unlicensed transmitter, but certification is required. Europe. R&TTE Directive. Harmonised Standards exist. Lab accreditation is not mandatory for R&TTE testing. Unlicensed transmitter. Japan. Most likely it is under the low power exemption limit thingy. I hope this helps. Michael.

It operates in the ISM frequency of 13.56Mhz. If we incorporate it into a product, does it require testing by a certified or accredited lab? It is globally accepted without licenses and certifications?
