Hi John, I beg to differ on this one. Intended application or use environment always plays a big role in determining standards and limits that apply. A modem can be classified as Class A, as can a computer destined and marketed strictly for industrial environments.
In the overall scheme of things, take the lighting industry. A light is a light is a light....right? Wrong. That same lamp socket and light could be used for household (Standard and limits A), could be used under water (B), could be used in an intrinsically safe environment (C)....you get the idea. It is based on the device's intended end use environment. Best regards, Garry Hojan CEO/ President Strategic Compliance Services (SCS) a Division of NRL, L.L.C. 11402 E Mariposa Rd.

Manager, Lab Operations Sanmina-SCI -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Pierre SELVA Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 9:49 AM To: Forum Safety-emc Subject: FCC and Professional Scanner : Verification or certification Hello all, I have to clarify a point to classify a product regarding FCC part 15 rules. The product is a scanner used in the photographic world. It scans negatives films and converts it to digital files. This scanner can be used as a stand alone one, or included in a bigger machine which makes the complete process to develop photographies. The scanner needs a personal computer to run thru a SCSI port. In which category falls this product : Peripheral of a PC, or other digital device ? The choice is fundamental to determine the authorization process : DofC/Certification or Verification.
