Read the first 6 FCC ID Labeling & Documentation Requirements flashcards as text

  1. What information is required on an FCC ID label affixed to a certified device?

    Answer: The FCC ID number (grantee code + product code) and the statement that the device complies with Part 15 or the applicable FCC rule

    FCC-certified devices must bear the FCC ID (a combination of the 3-5 character grantee code and the product code assigned by the applicant), which identifies the device and links it to the authorization record in the FCC database.

  2. What is an 'electronic label' (e-label) and when may it be used instead of a physical FCC label?

    Answer: A label displayed on the device's screen that can be accessed through a menu; allowed when the physical device is too small to accommodate a permanent label

    FCC rules (Part 2.935) permit electronic labeling where the FCC ID and compliance statements are displayed on the device's screen, accessed through a menu sequence, when the device is too small to bear a permanent physical label.

  3. What is the 'grantee code' portion of an FCC ID and who assigns it?

    Answer: A 3–5 character alphanumeric code assigned by the FCC to the responsible party (manufacturer/applicant) that uniquely identifies them in the FCC system

    The grantee code is the permanent identifier for the applicant (company), assigned by the FCC upon first application, and it forms the first part of every FCC ID associated with that company's certified devices.

  4. What must accompany an FCC equipment authorization application in terms of test data?

    Answer: A test report from an FCC-recognized accredited laboratory containing measurement results, test conditions, equipment descriptions, and a compliance statement

    FCC equipment authorization applications must include a formal test report from an accredited, FCC-recognized laboratory documenting all required measurements, equipment descriptions, test configurations, results, and a conclusion on compliance.

  5. What is a 'Class II permissive change' under FCC rules, and when is it required?

    Answer: A modification to an already-certified device that may affect its emission characteristics, requiring retesting and a new application to the original TCB/FCC

    A Class II permissive change covers modifications to a certified device that could significantly affect RF emissions or other certified parameters, requiring new testing and filing with the original granting TCB or FCC to update the authorization record.

  6. What does 'responsible party' mean in FCC equipment authorization rules?

    Answer: The entity that ensures the device complies with FCC rules, whose name and contact information must appear in the application and on the authorization grant

    The responsible party is the company or individual who certifies that the device complies with FCC rules, takes legal responsibility for ongoing compliance, and is identified on the FCC grant of equipment authorization.
