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.

        Use the search terms: 47cfr2 and 909
        
I hope this helps.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Group

This is a question regarding a plug in PC card that has been stated as
FCC 
compliant which is inserted in a PC that is also stated
to be FCC compliant and the emissions are found to actually exceed the
FCC 
limits.  

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.

Many thanks

John Cronin
