Subject: Re: EMC immunity requirements in Canada?
I was not clear enough in my original message when I said that there
ARE requirements but no per se standards. The de-facto immunity
requirements the FCC has (and the Canadians) is the responsibility the
manufacturer accepts as posted on the label. This is called out in
15.19 (in part) as follows:
(3) All other devices shall bear the following statement in a
conspicuous location on the device:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Thus the FCC does not dictate WHAT the testing levels are, only that
the manufacturer must meet generally accepted design guidelines that
protect the consumer and is on the hook for meeting them at their
expense. If this is splitting hairs to anyone, it is not that vague
to me.

Warren,
Could you reference the section of part 15 (or elsewhere) where the
FCC
calls out immunity requirements? I have to speculate that you are
mixing up
other requirements such as GR-1089 NEBS with the FCC.
Thanks,
Marko

The Canadians accept FCC data, which DOES include immunity
requirements. There are no testing standards for immunity, only that
the device must accept any interference for normal operation. See the
labeling requirements for verification and certification in Part 15.

As far as I remember, US (FCC) do only have emission (radiated /
conducted)
requirements.
What about Canada (IC) .... do they have immunity requirements in
addition ?
