Hi Jon, The below references are from my 1989 copy of CFR 47 so by this time, the paragraph references may have changed. But the discussion below should be otherwise current.
All devices must bear a label in accordance with CFR 47, Part 15, Subpart A, Paragraph 19. For example, ITE Equipment would be labelled with the statement given in Subpara (a)3 of Paragraph 19 regardless of Class A Verification or Class B Certification or Declaration. Also, a Class A device must have a unique identifier chosen by the manufacturer (such as a model number) per CFR 47, Part 2, Subpart J, Paragraph 954. The identifier must NOT be in a format that can be confused with an FCC Class B ID numer. ONLY devices which are Certified as Class B can bear the FCC Class B ID issued by FCC in addition to the labelling required above. If the identifier is not on the machine OR you have not labelled your machine with the new Class B D of C label, then the product would not be considered Class B. So under the new D of C rules effective 8/19/96, you now have the option of labelling Class B using the Certification process or meeting ALL of the provisions of the D of C procedures. Clear as mud? Any corrections of misinterpretations that I may have are always welcome. Happy New Year All. Regards, [email protected] ---------- From: Jon Bertrand To: emc-pstc Subject: FCC Class A Label? List-Post: [email protected] Date: Monday, December 30, 1996 1:37PM I'm a little confused on FCC Class A/B labeling. If you have a piece of light industrial equipment - I presume Class A compliance is Okay - does it need to have a label on it saying it complies with Class A. I've been told if it's class B it needs a label, but class A doesn't need a label. I've looked through all the regulatory docs they have here and on the FCC web site and I can't find anything. Thanks for your help. Jon Bertrand [email protected]
