## FAQ
- Q: Can someone remove the seal without breaking it?
  A: The destructible vinyl label is designed to fragment into small pieces when any removal is attempted. It cannot be peeled off in one piece. Even if someone carefully removes fragments and reassembles them, the conductive bridge-antenna tamper loop inside the label will be broken, and the NTAG 424 DNA chip will permanently set the CTTES (Counter Tamper Tamper Event Status) register to 1. There is no way to restore the 'sealed' status once the tamper loop is broken.
- Q: What does the consumer see when they tap the seal?
  A: When a consumer taps the intact seal, their phone opens a branded verification page showing: 'Authentic. Sealed' with a green checkmark, along with the product details and warranty information. If the seal has been tampered with, the page shows: 'Warning. Seal Tampered' with a red alert, the date / time of the tamper detection and instructions to contact customer support. The brand controls the verification page design and messaging.
- Q: How is this different from the NTAG 424 DNA tamper-evident tag?
  A: The warranty seal adds a destructible vinyl layer to the NTAG 424 DNA tag. The standard NTAG 424 DNA tamper tag has a bridge-antenna for digital tamper detection but uses a standard (non-destructible) PET label material. The warranty seal adds physical tamper evidence — the label itself fragments on removal, providing visual proof of tampering in addition to the digital CTTES tamper flag. Choose the warranty seal when you need both physical and digital tamper evidence; choose the standard NTAG 424 DNA tamper-evident tag for general-purpose authentication where physical fragmentation is not required.
- Q: Does an NFC warranty seal satisfy FDA 21 CFR Part 11 or EU FMD anti-tampering device (ATD) requirements for regulated products?
  A: It depends on the regulatory framework. For EU Falsified Medicines Directive (2011/62/EU) Delegated Regulation 2016/161, Article 5 requires an 'anti-tampering device' on prescription medicine packaging but is deliberately technology-agnostic — destructible vinyl seals with cryptographic NFC verification generally meet the Article 5 intent and are accepted by most EU national competent authorities, although the packaging remains subject to Article 3 serialisation via GS1 DataMatrix regardless. For FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic-records use cases (chain-of-custody evidence, clinical trial IMP kits, forensic sealed containers), the NFC tap log combined with a validated back-end (audit trails, user authentication, time-stamping, data integrity) can function as an electronic record system — but Part 11 compliance is a system-level determination, not a tag-level claim, and must be validated by the customer's quality system per FDA guidance. We supply the cryptographic primitives (AES-128 SUN, unique chip UID, tamper flag) and tap-log infrastructure; Part 11 validation is the customer's responsibility.
- Q: For high-value electronics (laptops, mobile phones, gaming consoles) can the NFC warranty seal integrate with overt holograms, covert micro-taggants and serialised GS1 barcodes in the same seal?
  A: Yes — high-value OEM anti-counterfeit programmes typically deploy a defence-in-depth stack, and the NFC warranty seal is designed to coexist with all of the standard overt and covert layers. Overt: holographic foil overlay (optically variable device visible to the naked eye), brand logo print, human-readable serial number. Semi-covert: GS1 DataMatrix or QR code printed on the seal face linking to the same verification URL for phones without NFC capability. Covert: micro-taggant particles in the adhesive, UV-reactive ink, microtext (all verifiable by brand-protection investigators using forensic tools). Cryptographic: NTAG 424 DNA AES-128 SUN dynamic URL, individual per-seal serialisation. The five layers serve different audiences — consumers tap the NFC, retailers scan the QR, customs officers visually verify the hologram, and forensic investigators confirm the covert taggant. The combined stack raises the counterfeiter's cost well beyond the margin on the counterfeit product, which is the economic objective of anti-counterfeit programmes.
