Dear Selva, Can you tell us a little more about your product? You mention that it is ITE class B. Does it have a transmitter section? If not, then you should be aware that class B IT equipment falls under the Declaration of Conformity rules (See 47 CFR 15.19, I think...) There is no need to contact the FCC in this case.
But if you are sure you need to "certify" the device with the FCC, then you wouldn't necessarily go TCB route. Telecom Certifications Bodies are just that: bodies that certify telecommunications devices under Part 68 rules, not Part 15. Granted, many TCBs are familiar with the FCC's authorization rules, but you don't need to limit yourself to them. BTW, I recommend using the FCC's online equipment authorization system. Good luck, Paul Hare -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Pierre SELVA Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 3:48 PM To: Forum Safety-emc Subject: FCC Authorization (Form 731) for ITE class B ; Do I need a TCB ? Importance: High Hello from France, I will have to submit a product to FCC in order to obtain a FCCID (product is an ITE, class B). After doing the test in an european listed laboratory (filed at FCC) and obtaining the Grantee Code, do I need to submit the package (result, doc, description, ...) to a TCB, or can I use the Electronic Filling System of FCC directly, as I did it some years ago ? I a TCB is needed, TCB members can contact me offline for business matters.
