FEDERAL
COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that all digital devices
(including Information Technology, Industrial, Scientific, and Medical
Equipment) that operate with internal clock rates over 9 kHz be tested under
one or more of the sections outlined in CFR Title 47, Parts 15, 18, 68, and
90. F-Squared Laboratories has filed our test site with the FCC and has been
accredited by A2LA in order to provide these services to our customers.

Declaration
of Conformity
In May 1996, the FCC allowed manufacturers of personal computers and
peripherals to issue Declarations of Conformity (DoC's) in order to proclaim
compliance of their products to Part 15. This was introduced as a way for
manufacturers to get their products to market faster. Once the test report
has been issued by an accredited test laboratory, the manufacturer can sell
products immediately.

Certification
Some products, such as transmitters, are required to be certified by the FCC.
Certification requires that an application be made to the FCC. The product
may not be sold/marketed until the approval process is completed and the
Certification is granted by the FCC. Not only can we do all your testing, but
we can act as your agent with the FCC. We will complete the test report and
application for you, and provide any follow-up support that is necessary
until you receive your certification.
|
Verification
Verification is a self-approval process. The equipment must be tested and the
manufacturer must then maintain the test report and submit it to the FCC upon
request. This process is typically used for Class A products such as business
computers, TV and FM receivers, and Industrial, Scientific, and Medical
Equipment.
