No listing is required for a lab testing for Verification. Listing is required for a lab testing for Certification.
Accreditation is required for a lab testing for the Declaration of Conformity. Accreditation can substitute for listing for a lab testing for Certification. Ghery Pettit Intel Corporation From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Lifsey Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2004 9:39 PM To: John Chan; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: Accredited labs versus FCC 2.948 listed labs Just adding some FCC Class A info, for those of us not doing certifications... An OATS for measuring FCC Class A devices (no FCC ID), whatever they are, only requires FCC 2.948 listing with the FCC to perform verification (not certification); no accreditations required. And, a FCC 2.948 site can be used to perform the rarely seen Class B *verification*. An example is a 9 kHz+ non-digital device that _also_ does not connect to digital/computer equipment. FWIW - I wrote and submitted three FCC 2.948 site reports for a Texas lab about a year ago.
