    {
      "question": "Are silicone RFID wristbands safe for children and people with sensitive skin?",
      "answer": "Yes. The wristbands are platinum-cured medical-grade silicone — hypoallergenic, latex-free, BPA-free, phthalate-free. The material clears FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 (food-contact baseline), EU REACH SVHC, and RoHS testing for prolonged skin contact, and the ISO 10993-5 / 10993-10 biocompatibility evaluation framework is referenced for medical-adjacent use. Child-sized variants additionally clear EU Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC."
    },
    {
      "question": "How many times can a silicone MIFARE wristband be reused?",
      "answer": "Material life is 2-4 years under daily aquatic / sweat wear; chip life is 100,000+ EEPROM write cycles with 10-year retention per the NXP MF1ICS50 data sheet. Most facility programmes get thousands of guest issuances from each band before visual logo wear (not chip failure) prompts replacement. The reissuance hygiene flow — rinse → quat-ammonium / isopropyl wipe → re-encode → re-issue — is what cycles the band through distinct guests over its life on rental / hotel programmes."
    },
    {
      "question": "Should I specify Classic, Plus, or DESFire?",
      "answer": "Match the chip to the installed reader fleet. Existing Classic-only readers + low-value access-only programme: Classic 1K is acceptable. Existing Classic readers + need for AES security: MIFARE Plus EV2 SL3 — pin-compatible, drops in without a reader swap. New build, or existing programme that includes cashless balance / member stored-value / multi-application data: DESFire EV3 — AES-128 + per-card key diversification (NXP AN10922) + Secure Dynamic Messaging on every tap. The CRYPTO-1 academic break (2008-2014) is the reason Classic should not anchor new high-value programmes."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can the chip handle access control and cashless payment together?",
      "answer": "Yes. MIFARE Classic 1K has 16 independent sectors with their own keys — typical layout uses sectors 1-4 for door + locker access, sectors 5-8 for cashless wallet, residual for loyalty / member-tier data. On DESFire EV3 the same partitioning lives in the file-system with AES-128 mutual auth per file, which is the structurally stronger answer for new programmes. Proud Tek pre-configures the sector / file layout to match the system integrator's spec at the factory step."
    },
    {
      "question": "What MOQ and lead time should I plan for?",
      "answer": "MOQ 200 silicone with custom Pantone colour and debossed logo; lead time 12-15 business days. Closed-loop / closure variant changes do not change the MOQ; chip-family change (Classic → DESFire EV3) does not change lead time. Per-band cost lands USD 0.55-1.40 at 1k-10k units depending on chip family, closure, and finish complexity. Samples available before bulk commit at no extra charge."
    },
    {
      "question": "Are these wristbands compatible with our gym-management or hospitality PMS?",
      "answer": "Yes — with every dominant gym and hospitality platform: Mindbody, ABC Fitness Solutions, PerfectGym, Glofox, Wodify, MatrixOne (gym / club); Oracle Opera Cloud, Mews, Cloudbeds (hospitality). The platforms consume the chip UID via SDK or middleware; switching wristband supplier is invisible to the platform layer. Proud Tek supplies the chip-spec sheet and pre-encoding manifest the operator's IT / system-integrator needs for the import step."
