John, See 47CFR2.909, Responsible party: The following parties are responsible for compliance of radio frequency equipment with the applicable standards: [snip] (c) In the case of equipment subject to authorization under the Declaration of Conformity procedure: (1) The manufacturer or, if the equipment is assembled from individual component parts and the resulting sustem is subject to authorization under a Declaration of Conformity, the assembler. I just downloaded this section to verify that it hasn't changed. http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/index.html#page1 Use the search terms: 47cfr2 and 909 I hope this helps.

What is the responsibility of the manufacturer who is intending to place this on the market as a functional unit? Are they liable for the overall unit or can they sell on the basis that it comprises FCC compliant sub assemblies, albeit evidently originally tested in different configurations. If they are liable, how can anyone sell any PC/PC card combination considering that the card could have originally been tested in a so called golden PC.
