Hi As someone who works in a test lab my recommendation is that if you are not manufacturing a radio device (designing and manufacturing the transmitter/receiver and the whole product), you should by a module that has both CE mark and FCC/ISED modular approval. If the module has FCC/ISED modular approval, as long as you maintain the grant conditions no further radio testing is required for FCC/ISED. When in doubt, contact a TCB. If you plan to sell your product in Europe, then if the module has CE, minimum testing should be performed on the whole device to make sure the electronics of your device do not affect the module. If all is ok, you can issue a DOC for Europe.

Although very low powered, regulators still want to regulate! We bought an RFID chip and created the antenna via a trace on the board. Guess what-that meant there was no modular approval=we got to do lots of testing! Next time we'll choose differently.

If I buy a reader over-the-counter in one country, can I use it in another country? Or, like WiFi and Bluetooth, do I have to have a Reader that is Certified for every country/market? If I want to integrate an RFID reader into an electronic device or machine, can I buy pre-certified modules for a worldwide market? Or will I have to have the entire electronic device certified? What are my options? Any insight would be helpful and appreciated.
