Several years ago my company exercised this exemption because our equipment at that time was extremely large and somewhat difficult to stage. More recently, we have elected to test and verify to FCC or CISPR regulations.
One word of caution. The exemption by the FCC may still be valid, but as I understand it, this merely eliminates the need for testing. It does not eliminate the responsibly to correct subsequent EMI problems.

It seems the intention was to exempt "maintenance, research, evaluation, simulation, and other analytical or scientific applications". Whatever that might mean. In some cases the same device (e.g. a scanner) could be for testing something or producing something. It is still something which may be open to argument, and since FCC is a federal regulation, the argument could start when the device is introduced into the US (customs?) Did anyone experience such an argument versus FCC? thanks again, Moshe -------------------------------------------- Name: moshe valdman E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 972-52-941200 Telefax: 972-3-5496369 Date: 13/1/99 Time: 22:40:49 You are most welcome to visit my homepage at: http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/5233/ -------------------------------------------- --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
