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 注册标识号。这是联邦贸易委员会向制造、进口、分销或销售《纺织品、羊毛和毛皮法案》所涵盖产品的美国企业颁发的数字。企业可以在产品标签上使用此编号，而不是公司名称。
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） 我必须使用 RN 吗？
不。您需要为涵盖的商品贴标，以识别负责在美国营销商品的企业或制造商。因此，您可以将您的公司名称放在标签上，而不是注册护士。公司名称是显示在业务文档（如采购订单和发票）上的全名。它不是商标、品牌或设计师名称，除非这也是公司开展业务的名称。或者，产品可能标有向您购买商品的公司的注册护士或公司名称，例如在美国销售商品的分销商或零售商。如果您从在美国销售成品的进口商或分销商或制造商处购买成品，则产品可以保留带有该公司的注册护士或企业名称的标签。注册护士仅适用于居住在美国的企业。但是，进口商品可以标有在美国销售的外国出口商或分销商或制造商的名称。

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） 我的公司不在美国。我可以用什么代替 RN？
如果您是商品制造商，或在美国从事所涵盖商品的销售、要约销售、分销或广告，则可以在标签上使用贵公司的企业名称。或者可以在产品上贴上直接参与进口、分销或销售产品的美国公司的 RN 或公司名称。
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） 我可以在产品标签上使用我的 IRS 编号或加拿大 CA 编号而不是RN吗？
不。您的 IRS 号码和加拿大 CA 号码都不能代替标签上的公司名称或RN。但是标签上负责在美国销售产品的加拿大公司或加拿大制造商的企业名称将满足法律要求。
9) Can I have more than one RN?
No. We will issue only one RN per company.
9） 我可以有多个注册护士吗？
不。我们将为每家公司仅签发一个RN。

12) WPL号码是什么?
许多年前，美国联邦贸易委员会向生产羊毛产品的公司颁发了WPL号码，这些羊毛产品受羊毛产品标签法的约束。我们不再发布WPL编号，但许多仍在使用。它们的使用方式与RN号相同。
