FCC - FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

http://www.F2Labs.com

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.
