re: FCC Class A Label?
Hi, For unintentional radiators, the FCC requires only verification. That is, one has the product type tested at an approved lab and keeps the data reports on file to verify that the product meets the Class A limits. Those verification reports must be produced if authorities need to see them. There is no declaration required, but the product has the marketing and labelling requirements specified in CFR 47. There are required statements in the user guide as well. This is actually a little easier than the D of C.

re: FCC Class A Label?
Class A equipment has pretty much always been a self declaration process, not requiring FCC certification, i.e. verification testing.

re: FCC Class A Label?
The DoC procedure was implemented to speed class B computers and their peripherals to market. The DoC is a self-certification procedure, i.e., no submission of data or fees to FCC, as was required in almost all cases for class B home computer/peripheral equipment prior to DoC rules. Class A *never* has required submission to FCC, so a class A DoC does not compute, so to speak. FCC class A compliance is and has always been under the Verification program, itself a self-certification or scout's honor type procedure. Hope this helps. Labelling issues always seem to be in the top 3 categories of faqs. Tom Cokenias RFI/EMC Consultant
