Thanks Mark. Agree. Especially that there are exemptions. for those, it's best to check CFR 47.
This may be just semantics, but I don't consider DoC as "Certification" per say. I think that term only applies to products which recieve an ID number from FCC (the Grant). But it is a Declaration of Class B for sure. Not for Class A. If I have misunderstood this, someone please flag me on it. Regards, Tony ---------- From: Mark Briggs To: Tony Fredriksson; emc-pstc Subject: re: FCC Class A Label? List-Post: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, January 14, 1997 1:33AM Tony - FCC requires certification (either submittal to FCC OR DoC) for all Class B digital devices that are either personal computers or personal computer peripherals. Other class B and all class A unintentional radiators are subject to verification (with some notable exemptions). Intentional radiators falling under Part 15's scope are subject to certification. As you point out, there are labelling requirements (in user's manual and on the unit itself) for all devices subject to the Part 15 technical requirements, regardless of Class. Parts 2 and 15 of CFR47 detail these requirements. Mark At 02:09 PM 1/7/97 PST, you wrote: > >Hi, > >For unintentional radiators, the FCC requires only verification.
