1) What is an RN?

RN stands for Registered Identification Number. It is a number issued by the FTC to U.S. businesses that manufacture, import, distribute, or sell products covered by the Textile, Wool, and Fur Acts. Businesses can use this number on product labels instead of the company name.

1） 什么是RN？

RN 代表 注冊標識號。這是聯邦貿易委員會向制造、進口、分銷或銷售《紡織品、羊毛和毛皮法案》所涵蓋產品的美國企業(yè)頒發(fā)的數字。企業(yè)可以在產品標簽上使用此編號，而不是公司名稱。

2) Do I have to use an RN?

No. You are required to label covered products to identify the business responsible for marketing the products in the United States or the manufacturer. Therefore, you may put your company business name on the label instead of an RN. The business name is the full name that appears on business documents, such as purchase orders and invoices. It is not a trademark, brand, or designer name, unless that is also the name under which the company conducts business. Alternatively, products may be labeled with the RN or business name of the company that is buying the goods from you, such as a distributor or retailer marketing them in the United States. If you are acquiring finished products from an importer or distributor that markets them in the United States, or a manufacturer, the products can remain labeled with that company’s RN or business name. RNs are available only to businesses residing in the United States. However, imported goods can be labeled with the name of the foreign exporter or distributor that markets them in the United States, or the manufacturer.

2） 我必須使用 RN 嗎？

不。您需要為涵蓋的商品貼標，以識別負責在美國營銷商品的企業(yè)或制造商。因此，您可以將您的公司名稱放在標簽上，而不是注冊RN，名稱是顯示在業(yè)務文檔（如采購訂單和發(fā)票）上的全名。它不是商標、品牌或設計師名稱，除非這也是公司開展業(yè)務的名稱。或者，產品可能標有向您購買商品的公司的RN或公司名稱，例如在美國銷售商品的分銷商或零售商。如果您從在美國銷售成品的進口商或分銷商或制造商處購買成品，則產品可以保留帶有該公司的RN或企業(yè)名稱的標簽。注冊RN僅適用于居住在美國的企業(yè)。但是，進口商品可以標有在美國銷售的外國出口商或分銷商或制造商的名稱。

7) My company is not in the United States. What can I use instead of an RN?

If you are the product manufacturer, or engage in the sale, offering for sale, distribution, or advertising of a covered product in the United States, the business name of your company can be used on the label. Alternatively, the product can be labeled with the RN or business name of a company in the United States that is directly involved with importing, distributing, or selling the product.

7） 我的公司不在美國。我可以用什么代替 RN？

如果您是商品制造商，或在美國從事所涵蓋商品的銷售、要約銷售、分銷或廣告，則可以在標簽上使用貴公司的企業(yè)名稱。或者可以在產品上貼上直接參與進口、分銷或銷售產品的美國公司的 RN 或公司名稱。

8) Can I use my IRS number or a Canadian CA number instead of an RN on a product label?

No. Neither your IRS number nor a Canadian CA number can substitute for a business name or RN on the label. However, the business name of a Canadian company responsible for marketing the product in the United States or a Canadian manufacturer on the label will satisfy the legal requirement.

8） 我可以在產品標簽上使用我的 IRS 編號或加拿大 CA 編號而不是RN嗎？

不。您的 IRS 號碼和加拿大 CA 號碼都不能代替標簽上的公司名稱或RN。但是標簽上負責在美國銷售產品的加拿大公司或加拿大制造商的企業(yè)名稱將滿足法律要求。

9) Can I have more than one RN?

No. We will issue only one RN per company.

9） 我可以有多個注冊護士嗎？

不。我們將為每家公司僅簽發(fā)一個RN。

許多年前，美國聯邦貿易委員會向生產羊毛產品的公司頒發(fā)了WPL號碼，這些羊毛產品受羊毛產品標簽法的約束。我們不再發(fā)布WPL編號，但許多仍在使用。它們的使用方式與RN號相同。
