Wireless Standards & Regulations

To take advantage of the significant opportunities the Internet of Things (IoT) presents, companies need to navigate the growing complexity of regulations across regulatory content such as wireless, cybersecurity, and data protection.

Wireless regulations establish licensing, certification, and bandwidth requirements for devices that intentionally emit radiofrequency signals in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The C2P Wireless content covers laws, regulations, and supporting documents applying to radio frequency spectrum allocation, with a primary focus on unlicensed areas of the spectrum typically reserved to short range, low power devices.

Monitor and Manage wireless devices standards & regulations:

Wireless Accessories
Wireless Network Devices and Technology
IOT Wireless Standards
RFID Requirements (Radio Frequency Identification)
Comply with Wireless LAN regulations

Our wireless topic in C2P covers laws, regulations and supporting documents applying to radio frequency spectrum allocation, with a primary focus on unlicensed areas of the spectrum typically reserved for short range, low power devices. These include:

Wireless accessories
Local area networking (LAN)
Internet-connected appliances (IoT)
Radio frequency identification (RFID)

The content includes spectrum allocation tables and requirements for test standards, certification, registration, labeling and approval for short-range devices operating in unlicensed bands of the radio spectrum. The covered devices typically use WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee or other low-power wireless communications standards.

Our Coverage of Wireless Device Compliance

Our wireless topic in C2P covers laws, regulations and supporting documents applying to radio frequency spectrum allocation, with a primary focus on unlicensed areas of the spectrum typically reserved for short range, low power devices. Regulations covered include, but are not limited to:

USA: FCC Radio Frequency Devices Regulations, 47 CFR Part 15, 1989
EU: Radio Equipment, Directive 2014/53/EU
Brazil’s Resolution No. 242 of November 30, 2000
China: Regulation on Type Approval and Self-Declaration of Conformity for Radio Equipment, Consultation, March 2020
China: Catalogue and Technical Requirements for Micro-power Short Range Radio Transmitting Equipment, Announcement No. 52, 2019
IEEE 802.11x WLAN and 802.15 WPAN of Wireless Standards

We cover standards for our core products that are available from our partner Accuris. These are available through our Product Compliance Solution.

Connection with other regulatory content:

The Wireless content overlaps with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) where intentional and unintentional radio emissions are regulated together, as in the US FCC part 15 regulations.

Wireless may also overlap with Cybersecurity, where IoT issues include cybersecurity requirements, as in the EU RED. Vehicle and intelligent traffic telemetry regulations are also covered under our Automotive topic, but they may be covered in regulations for radio equipment.

Note: Wireless devices may also be subject to Electrical Safety and EMC requirements which are not covered in the Wireless offering. C2P wireless content does not generally cover long-range cellular mobile equipment or requirements for telephone service providers and media broadcasters.
