Hi Mr. Balasubramanian; An accredited labs means a lab has been accrediated by an accrediator such as NIST or A2LA. NIST operates a program called National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). According to FCC rule, all ITE devices must been tested in a lab which has gained accrediatation through NVLAP, A2LA or MRA. An Open Area Test Site (OATS) or full size chamber must meet ANSI 63.4 requirements and be listed under FCC web site to qualify performing testing. FCC rule 2.948 was a section for measurement facilities. Please go to the web site: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/te t-idx?c=ecfr&sid=1cc1135b3a7216750228c2 5619bf998&rgn=div8&view=text&node=47:1.0.1.1.3.9.215.32&idno=47 for detail information. If someone likes to submitt test report for FCC ID, the test site must be listed in FCC web site.
