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,

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?

Lets not forget about the new FCC DoC process. 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.

      Jon Bertrand asks if FCC Class A devices require a label.  Yes, is
      the short answer.  Class A devices are subject to VERIFICATION, while
      Class B devices require (in nearly all cases) CERTIFICATION.
