Certification & Regulatory¶
This section tracks certification requirements, test plans, and compliance status for the EverTag product platform.
Certification Landscape¶
The EverTag system spans two regulatory domains:
| Domain | Products | Standards | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| High-voltage safety | Power Base Module (wall receptacle) | UL 498, UL 1310 | Mains input, transformer, fusing, insulation, Class 2 output limiting |
| Low-voltage / radio | Connectivity Module (PCB 232200--232211) | FCC Part 15, CE RED, RoHS, REACH, WEEE | BLE/WiFi/LTE radio emissions, EMC, general product safety |
Because the USB rail from the Power Base Module is Class 2-limited (per UL 1310), the downstream EverTag Connectivity Module PCBs remain outside the high-voltage safety domain.
Connectivity Module Certifications¶
| Certification | Standard | Applicable PCBs | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| FCC (BLE) | FCC Part 15 Subpart C | All | Not started |
| FCC (WiFi) | FCC Part 15 Subpart C | 232202, 232203, 232204 | Not started |
| FCC (LTE) | FCC Part 15 Subpart C | 232210, 232211 | Not started |
| CE RED | EU Directive 2014/53/EU | All (EU market) | Not started |
| CE EMC | EN 55032 / EN 55035 | All | Not started |
| RoHS | EU Directive 2011/65/EU | All | Not started |
| REACH | EU Regulation 1907/2006 | All | Not started |
| WEEE | EU Directive 2012/19/EU | All (EU market) | Not started |
Modular Pre-Certifications¶
Key RF modules carry their own certifications, simplifying end-product testing:
| Module | Pre-Certification | End-Product Testing Still Required |
|---|---|---|
| PAN B611-1 (nRF54L15) | FCC modular, CE RED | System-level unintentional emissions |
| ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 | FCC modular, CE RED | Integration emissions testing |
| SIM7672E | FCC modular, CE RED | Antenna integration, SAR (if applicable) |
Power Base Module Certifications¶
| Certification | Standard | Status |
|---|---|---|
| UL Listing (receptacle) | UL 498 | Not started |
| UL Listing (Class 2 power) | UL 1310 | Not started |
| FCC (unintentional radiator) | FCC Part 15 Subpart B | Not started |
Sections (planned)¶
- Test Plans -- EMC test matrices, pre-compliance checklists
- Test Reports -- Lab results, measurement data
- Certificates -- Issued certifications (FCC grant, CE DoC, UL listing)
- Compliance Matrix -- Requirement-to-evidence traceability
Under Construction
Detailed certification documentation will be added as the product progresses through the compliance process. See the PPAP Disciplines & Requirements Framework for the full regulatory framework and PPAP element mapping.
Human Disciplines Mapped Here¶
This Certification tab covers the following traditional engineering disciplines (see PPAP Section 2e for the full list):
| KB Discipline Name | Traditional Name | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Functional Safety | Safety Management | Safety analysis (FMEA), safety manual, SIL/PLr assessment |
| Environmental & EMC Test | Environmental test | EMC test plans, climate testing, vibration, pre-compliance |
The regulatory KB role grants access to this section. Compliance engineers, test lab coordinators, and safety engineers should be assigned this role.
