NT3H2111 FCC Certification

[MCU-User]

Hi,

I have a design where I'm using the NT3H2111 with a PCB etched antenna recommended by NXP in it's documentation. This is just a passive tag waiting to receive information from an NFC writer. Do I need any type of FCC certification or NFC Forum certificate for this design? 

Thanks,

Robert

Hello @MCU-User , 

If your design consists of a passive NFC tag and NFC Antenna only. And there no other "active" electronic that requires an external power supply. Then the device is classified as "Unintentional radiator".  In this case, the device does need to to be certified against FCC/ETSI. 

But if your device contains some MCU, Display etc... and it is externally supplied, you typically have to proceed with FCC/ETSI radiation tests. 

Regarding the NFC Forum. The NFC Forum Certification is optional and only required if your design should be NFC Forum compliment ("Compatible" with others NFC Forum certified devices)
