Greetings,
> an NABL accredited lab’s results would be accepted by the FCC. Not necessarily. One way to confirm will be to review the FCC letter for the registration of the measurement facility to 47 CFR Section 2.948. Lately I’ve been seeing in some of these letters from the FCC: “Please also note that this registration does not recognize the measurement facility to perform testing for products authorized under the Declaration of Conformity (DoC) process. In order to test products subject to DoC authorization process, a measurement facility must be accredited and recognized by the FCC.” Facilities at labs in countries that do not have an MRA with the US (e.g. China) are not allowed to use their results for DoC rules.

Thank you to all of you who replied. I am in a position of reviewing test reports for a DoC product designed and tested in India. So with no MRA I suppose the DoC could be invalid. I have asked the lab for their accreditations and I am told that they are NABL accredited. It turns out that NABL is a signatory to both the ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) and the APLAC (Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) agreements. These agreements are suppose to make all accredited labs equal. NVLAP and A2LA are also signatories to the same agreements. While I could not find an MRA (Mutual Recognition Agreement) between NVLAP/A2LA and NABL, the fact they are a signatory to these two international agreements would make me think that an NABL accredited lab’s results would be accepted by the FCC. Does anyone else agree??

They have no MRA but if this is telecom related, TEC should accept your US accredited laboratory emc test reports.
