I think the FCC would say- Yes!! However - with component level tests you would not be. OK - Before you all jump all over me.. Yes there will be cost added to the components. After all it is hard to skim every cent out of a part when you do not know the system it will go in. However the advantages from a compliance standpoint are many. Here are some I can think of: 1. Testing can be done either on the bench or in a chamber 2. Testing can be done without the entire system 3. Testing and debug can be done during the design phase. 4. Once completed - the component can be immediately released. 5. System tests can be cut to a minimum. 6. There is some assurance that the assembled product has had mitigation work done on the\ components irrespective of the manufacuring location. 7. Add your own..
