Hi, For unintentional radiators, the FCC requires only verification. That is, one has the product type tested at an approved lab and keeps the data reports on file to verify that the product meets the Class A limits. Those verification reports must be produced if authorities need to see them.
There is no declaration required, but the product has the marketing and labelling requirements specified in CFR 47. There are required statements in the user guide as well. This is actually a little easier than the D of C. Regards, tony_fredriks...@netpower.com ---------- From: GRASSO%STKWWHDQ To: emc-pstc Subject: re: FCC Class A Label? List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: Monday, January 06, 1997 12:00AM Let me see if I understand this correctly.. The FCC in an attempt to speed up the Class B cert process introduced the DoC process. Can Class A equipment use the same process? --------------------------( Forwarded letter 1 follows )--------------------- X-Router: (TAO/SMTP Gateway 1.1.34) <emc2m...@ccsvm.stortek.com> Received: from stortek.com by CCSVM.STORTEK.COM (IBM VM SMTP V2R3) with TCP; Thu, 02 Jan 97 12:32:14 MST Received: from ruebert.ieee.org by stortek.com with SMTP id AA20970 (5.65c/IDA-1.4.4); Thu, 2 Jan 1997 12:32:16 -0700 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by ruebert.ieee.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id NAA24680 for emc-pstc-list; Thu, 2 Jan 1997 13:08:42 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: <n1359922992.47...@sledgehammer.com> List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: 2 Jan 1997 10:04:01 -0800 From: "Steve Chin" <sc...@sledgehammer.com.smtp> Subject: Re: FCC Class A Label?

You can declare conformity to the FCC limits (either class A or class B) if you are testing at an approved site with uses approved testing practices. If you use the route of declaration, a proper "FCC DoC" label must be applied. Steve Chin StreamLogic Corp.

Yes, is the short answer. Class A devices are subject to VERIFICATION, while Class B devices require (in nearly all cases) CERTIFICATION.
