Beyond communication—protecting your job site from regulatory fines and safety liabilities with FCC and CE certified Industrial Two-Way Radios.
In industrial procurement, a “bargain” can quickly turn into a liability. While the market is flooded with low-cost, generic walkie talkies, many of these devices operate in a legal gray area. For a project manager or procurement officer, the use of uncertified equipment carries a hidden price tag: potential heavy fines from regulatory bodies, equipment confiscation, and even site shutdowns due to frequency interference.
The Retevis RB48A and RB648A eliminate these risks through dedicated engineering. We don’t just provide a professional two-way radio; we provide a verified compliance asset for your team. These models are the safest bet for your commercial radio inventory—and here’s why.
The Certification Standard: FCC vs. CE Compliance
Regulatory compliance isn’t a sticker; it’s the law. We have tailored our flagship industrial two-way radios to meet the strict demands of the world’s two largest markets specifically.
- For the US Market: RB48A (FCC Certified FRS Radio)
The RB48A is rigorously tested and certified under FCC Part 95 standards.
- What this means for you:It operates legally on license-free FRS (Family Radio Service) Unlike uncertified radios that may bleed into emergency or police bands, the RB48A guarantees signal purity.
- The Benefit:Your business avoids the legal headache of licensing individual units and eliminates the risk of FCC enforcement actions against your construction site or facility.
- For the European Market: RB648A (CE Certified PMR446)
The RB648A is fully compliant with the CE RED (Radio Equipment Directive)and optimized for the PMR446 license-free
- For the European Market: RB648A (CE Certified PMR446)
- What this means for you:It meets the stringent health, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility requirements of the EU.
- The Benefit:Seamless, legal deployment across European borders without the need for country-specific frequency adjustments.
“Screenless” Design: The Ultimate Compliance Lock
Why did we design the RB48A/RB648A as a screenless two-way radio?
While screens look high-tech, they introduce a compliance vulnerability: Human Error.
On a busy construction site, curious workers often fiddle with settings on screened radios, accidentally changing frequencies or power levels. This can render the device illegal or incompatible with the rest of the radio fleet.
- Tamper-Proof Logic:The RB48A’s screenless design acts as a physical lock. It ensures that your workforce stays exactly on the channels you assigned—legal, clear, and verified.
Safety Compliance: The Site Noise Expert
Regulatory compliance extends beyond radio waves; it covers worker safety (HSE/OSHA). In high-decibel environments, miscommunication is a leading cause of accidents.
Living up to its reputation as a “Site Noise Expert,” the RB48A series is a vital tool for meeting workplace safety standards.
- Noise-Canceling Audio:By utilizing advanced noise reduction, it ensures commands are heard clearly over the roar of machinery.
- Emergency Response:This clarity allows for rapid emergency response, ensuring your site meets safety communication protocols without forcing workers to remove their hearing protection to listen.
The Bottom Line: Procurement with Peace of Mind
Choosing the RB48A or RB648A is a decision to prioritize stability. You are not just buying hardware; you are investing in compliant communication solutions:
- Legal Safety:Full FCC/CE backing.
- Operational Safety:Interference-free, noise-canceling audio.
- Administrative Safety:No accidental setting changes by users.
Don’t let non-compliant gear threaten your project’s timeline or budget. Equip your team with certified industrial radios built for the rules of the road.
