I need help with interpretation of one paragraph in FCC Part 15. I have the
1 Oct 97 version. Paragraph 15.103 (b) says a digital device is exempted
from Part 15 if it is "used exclusively as an electronic control or power
system utilized by a public utility or in an industrial plant." One could
interpret this several ways to include:
A digital device is exempted if it is used exclusively as:
1) an electronic control
2) an electronic control utilized by a public utility only
3) an electronic control utilized in an industrial plant
The first interpretation is pretty broad and would exclude a lot of
equipment. The third interpretation is broad but causes the manufacturer of
control equipment to somehow make certain his products do not end up in use
anywhere except in an industrial plant. The second interpretation is narrow
and might be the real intent of this exemption.
I would appreciate any advice on how any of you would interpret this.
Thanks in advance.
