Rocky, While your message indicates that the FCC may not have a problem with the 'assembled from tested components' concept, it does not mean that the end-product will actually meet the limits. Poor routing of internal cables, insufficient grounding, just to mention a couple of items, can cause failures. This is why the EC doesn't have faith CE + CE = CE. Although it may work in some cases, it doesn't compare to actual testing. If you're going to 'mass produce' a particular configuration, take some time and check the emissions. You might surprised what you find. In the long run it doesn't pay to be 'dollar wise and pound foolish'.
Just my opinion. GE Interlogix John A. Juhasz Fiber Options Div. Bohemia, NY > All, > Has anyone successfully issued a DOC using the "assembled from tested components" method for a personal computer? I have not been able to find a floppy disk drive manufacturer that has any DOC documentation for their device; even the ones marketing directly to home users. Have I just not found the right manufacturer? > > Best regards, > > Rocky > -)-(- > > Kenneth P.
