You are right, they should be Class B unless they excusively specify that the PC is not for home use. You will need them to be Class B to start with and when you load them with custom option cards there is a high chance that the EMI characteristics will worsen and you'll at least meet Class A.

-----Original Message----- From: wo...@sensormatic.com [mailto:wo...@sensormatic.com] Sent: Friday, 2 February 2001 2:08 AM To: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: FCC for PCs We are purchasing a PC loaded with custom option cards from a supplier that obtains the PC from a third party. The end unit as sold to us and resold by us is not intended for home use. However, the base PC initially sold by the third party is sized and priced such that it could potentially be used in the home. The computer does not display the FCC mark, but is marked according to Class A requirements. I am concerned that the computer may not be in compliance with FCC marking requirements. What are the current rules that would apply in this case?
