13. APPENDIX B - Regulations and Compliance

This section summarizes the responsibilities and actions required of manufacturers and integrators who
incorporate OEM versions of the Enfora Enabler III-G module into their products. In certain situations and
applications, these products will require additional FCC, CE, GCF, PTCRB or other regulatory approvals
prior to sale or operation. Appropriate instructions, documentation and labels are required for all
products. For more information concerning regulatory requirements, please contact Enfora.
13.1.

GCF/PTCRB Approval (Formerly FTA)

The Enfora Enabler III-G module is type approved in accordance with the requirements of and
through the procedures set forth by the GSM industry association. The relevant conformance
specification is 3GPP TS 51010-1. Any OEM changes in the SIM interface, antenna port, software or
the physical makeup of the unit may require an incremental FTA to ensure continued compliance with
the above-mentioned standard. For more information concerning type approval, please contact
Enfora.
13.2.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Safety Requirements

The Enfora Enabler III-G module has been tested and approved for application in the United States of
America (US) and the European Union (EU). The compliance details for each of these markets
follow. For other markets, additional or alternative regulatory approvals may be required. Always
ensure that all rules and regulations are complied with in every country that the OEM application is to
be operated. Regardless of the country or market, the OEM must comply with all applicable
regulatory requirements.
13.3.

EMC/Safety Requirements for the USA

Compliance to the US rules and regulations falls under two categories:
•
Radio approvals: Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
•
Transmitter: FCC Rules, Part 22 & 24
•
Unintentional emission: FCC Rules, Part 15
Although the Enfora Enabler III-G module has been authorized by the FCC and listed as a component
by an NRTL, products and applications that incorporate the Enfora Enabler III-G module will require
final verification of EM emission and product safety approval.
Note: Particular attention should be made to the following statements regarding RF Exposure:
