Hi Amund, Some equipment types falling under Parts 15 and 18 do not require certification; most notably would be Part 15 Subpart B Unintentional Radiators, the list of how those devices are treated under the Equipment Authorization requirements may be found in the pdf attachment. A recent addition to the list in 15.101, that do not yet appear on the attached list, would be radar detectors. They have recently been regulated by the FCC and require Certification. Intentional radiators falling under Part 15 Subparts C, D and E do require certification. The Equipment Authorization procedure for consumer equipment governed by Part 18 would be either a Declaration of Conformity or Certification.
While a large portion of the transmitting equipment covered by other rule parts does require certification, please keep in mind that there are many exceptions which only require verification. You must refer to the individual rule parts to determine the Equipment Authorization procedure to follow. To address your other 2 questions, the FCC requires that equipment being authorized via the certification process under Parts 15 and 18 be tested at facilities that have registered their sites with the FCC. There is no such requirement for certification under any other rule part. So, the answer to your questions would be yes, in both instances. I hope that you find this helpful.

But if the equipment is a radio transmitter and are covered under other FCC parts 80, 87, etc, certification applies. Correct ? >From the FCC Web, a list of all test firms exists. https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/oet/forms/reports/Search_Form. hts?form=Test_Firms Quote from FCC : The following firms have submitted the information required by Section 2.948 of the FCC Rules for measuring devices subject to Certification under Parts 15 & 18, and have indicated that they are available to the public on a contract basis. In addition, the CAB regime exist. http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/international/mras-usa-eu.htm Question: 1. If these test firms carry out testing for other parts than Part 15/18, will it be accepted by FCC? 2. Can a CAB certify based on test reports from FCC listed firm, even if the test firm is not listed for testing according to Part 80, 87, etc ?
