Dear colleagues.

 

I am looking into labelling a product as Class A for FCC Part 15  emission
limits.

The product will use the verification route to compliance.

I would appreciate it if someone could let me know what labelling will be
required on the product and the text required in the user documentation.

I am familiar with Class B labelling but would like to know the difference
for Class A.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Re: [PSES] FCC Labelling

[Rodney Davis]

I would also like to confirm and agree with Ian. He  is absolutely right.  I 
see many instances where verified equipment has the FCC symbol incorrectly used 
on products clearly not under the SDoC scheme.


This is in my view the most incorrectly used Regulatory symbol used today !

Hi Ian,



You are almost correct.   The FCC’s logo is only for devices which have been 
authorised under the DoC process.



Devices which have verification or certification, do not show the FCC logo.



Of course, if there is a mixture of authorisation routes and one of them is 
DoC, then the logo will appear.   For example, a device which has some 
certification and also a DoC, would show the logo.



The topic is included in a recent ‘New Proposed Rule Change’ document from the 
FCC for future change consideration; but right now it is only for use on DoC 
authorised devices.



Thanks,



Michael.

in the Verification category for an unintentional radiator that it is not 
permitted to mark the product with the FCC mark but you must apply the

[PSES] FCC labelling

[Mcburney, Ian]

Dear Colleagues;

I'm sure this question has been asked before but I can't remember the answer.
My question concerns FCC labelling spare PCB assemblies.
These can be multilayer high speed processor boards shipped as spares to be 
fitted into equipment that is already FCC labelled.
Would the packaging or PCB assembly have to be FCC labelled if the part were 
being shipped from outside the USA?
The spare assembly can only be used in our own equipment.

Many thanks in advance.
