Brian,
You can "self-verify" to Class B under the FCC Rules, Part 15. Read
your Part 2 Rules for definitions of "verification" vs.
"certification". Then you can use the Class B text, except substitute
"...has been certified to...." to "...has been verified to Class B
limits..."
Verification to Class B limits is when you DON'T have a personal
computer, but, for whatever reasons, you want to meet (and do) Class B
limits.

My company manufactures products that do no legally have to have FCC.
Because of the EMC directive in Europe we are testing our products and
self declaring compliance to EN55011 class B.
Our products also comply to the FCC class B requirements but we do not
wish to go through the added cost and time to obtain an FCC grant or
to have our products tested to an accredited test lab.
I know I can self declare to FCC-A but would like to self declare to
class B. I have a problem with the last sentence in the required
class A text; "Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at their own expense". THIS WOULD
BE A LIE because my product meets the class B requirements. If I self
declare to class A, can I omit or change the last sentence to be more
correct or reflex the fact that my product meets class B?
Why can't I self declare FCC class B? I'm not stating anything that is
not true. Has anyone out there tried self declaring to FCC class B
using test data from your own lab? If so, any suggestions on labeling
and user manual text?
Thanks for you time.
