Private Labeling Policy

Please see the Product Registration Policy (PD10026) for Private Labeling and Rebranding of existing registered products.

HART 5 Private Labeling

A HART 5 product with a DD (*.fms) registered prior to March 31, 2011, may be private labeled by exchanging the MANUFACTURER and DEVICE_TYPE codes.  The DD source must be otherwise identical to the previously registered DD.

The HART 5 device and DD must be submitted for testing as a Private Label product. 

There is no private_label_code variable for HART 5 devices.  

The member who is private labeling must have a 1-byte manufacturer ID code.  New members of FIeldComm Group cannot obtain a 1-byte manufacturer ID code but 2-byte manufacturer ID code will be assigned by FieldComm Group. The product must be updated to HART 7 Protocol Version, therefore it is no longer a Private Label product and must be submitted as a unique HART device and EDD.
