USA FCC LOGO Usage Instructions

Many customers inquire about whether to use the right-angle or slanted fcc logo on product labels. The original KDB 784748 D01 document and the FCC website's logos contain ambiguities. Recently, the FCC has clarified the differences in the usage of the fcc sdoc LOGO. Details are as follows:

Question 1: Which of the two FCC logos available in the market is correct?

Answer: Both can be used.

On November 2, 2023, the FCC updated KDB 784748 D01 General Labeling and Notification v09r02, replacing KDB 784748 D01 Labeling Part 15 & 18 Guidelines v09r01.

Major Updates:

In section 2.5, instructions on how to obtain the FCC mark illustrations were added, along with Note 12 to clarify the subtle differences between the work on the FCC website and the FCC mark displayed in the 47 CFR 2.1074 rule, as well as some grammatical style edits. The note explains that any version can be used with the sdoc equipment authorization procedure.

Question 2: Are there any guidelines from the FCC regarding product labels for RF devices?

Answer: The labeling and user information guidelines for RF devices are contained in two documents:

1. 784748 D01: This is a general guideline for labeling and user information for Part 15 & 18 Guidelines.

   - It clarifies the labeling requirements for different products.

2. 784748 D02: This provides guidelines for displaying label information electronically (e-label).

Question 3: Are the FCC SDoC and fcc id logos the same?

Answer: No, they are not.

- In 784748 D01, it is specified that the FCC SDoC uses the slanted logo mentioned above. However, the FCC ID does not use a logo but rather an ID number with the template as follows:

FCC ID: XXXXX-XXXXX
