Petition For Rulemaking by Mobile & Wireless Forum, Telecommunications Industry Association in INBOX-1.401
The Mobile & Wireless Forum and the Telecommunications Industry Association have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to authorize the use of Quick Response codes on smart device packaging to convey required regulatory information. This proposal seeks to amend existing rules to allow QR codes to replace printed text for disclosures such as the FCC Identifier, Part 15 compliance statements, RF exposure data, and Hearing Aid Compatibility details. The petitioners argue that this approach aligns with the E-LABEL Act, supports accessibility for users with disabilities, reduces packaging waste, and ensures regulatory information remains current without requiring product recalls. Additionally, the proposal outlines a tiered framework based on device display capabilities and emphasizes that manufacturers would retain full responsibility for the accuracy and persistence of the linked online resources.
