Hi Neil, First, is a "one-off" a single on-of-a-kind unit? Second, where one goes, usually more will follow. I am not familiar with the specific requirements for test equipment in the US, however, FCC Part 18 may be more appropriate. It may be wise for you to look into Subpart I of FCC Part 2, "Marketing of Radio Frequency Devices". Exemptions and non-exemptions are described there. A competent lab or consultant familiar with the FCC requirements for your particular product category should have the information you're looking for, whether its exempted (I don't like the word avoid) or not. You can also inquire directly at the FCC at 301-725-1585. I hope you find the necessary information that you need, whether or not its what you're looking for. Best regards, Ron Pickard ron_pick...@hypercom.com

Author: "Bennett Neil" <benne...@genrad.co.uk> at INTERNET List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: 9/10/98 1:50 PM Hi Folks, We are currently planning to supply a single item of test equipment into the US. This incorporates a radio modem (spread spectrum LAN 2.4GHz). I understand that compliance with FCC Part 15 is the usual requirement. However, does this requirement apply to one-offs that are supplied directly to the customer ? Is there a way to avoid obtaining approval for this single item? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
