Regulatory and Industry Approvals

Note: If this module is intended for use in a portable device, you are responsible 
for separate approval to satisfy the SAR requirements of FCC Part 2.1093 and IC 
RSS-102.
OEM integration
Application of regulatory guidelines
Because ‘near-body’ devices (handhelds, laptops, tablets, scanners, etc.) vary 
widely in design features, physical configurations, and use-models, module 
integrators shall follow the guidelines below regarding device classification and 
simultaneous transmission, and seek guidance from their preferred regulatory 
test lab to determine how regulatory guidelines will impact the device compliance. 
Proactive management of the regulatory process will minimize unexpected 
schedule delays and costs due to unplanned testing activities.
Device classifications
The OEM integrator must determine the minimum distance required between their 
device and the user’s body.
The FCC provides device classification definitions to assist in making the correct 
determination. Note that these classifications are guidelines only; strict 
adherence to a device classification may not satisfy the regulatory requirement as 
near-body device design details may vary widely.
FCC definitions:
Portable: (§2.1093) — A portable device is defined as a transmitting device 
designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is / are 
within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.
Mobile: (§2.1091) (b) — A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device 
designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in 
such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally 
maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of 
the user or nearby persons.
Per §2.1091d(d)(4) In some cases (for example, modular or desktop transmitters), 
the potential conditions of use of a device may not allow easy classification of that 
device as either Mobile or Portable. In these cases, applicants are responsible for 
determining minimum distances for compliance for the intended use and 
installation of the device based on evaluation of either specific absorption rate 
(SAR), field strength, or power density, whichever is most  appropriate.
OEM device classification process
The primary factor in determining whether a device will be classified as a Portable 
product or as a Mobile product is antenna separation distance (body to radiating 
antenna element).
