3.7    Miscellaneous
Labelling Requirements for Part 15 Devices:
     Verification
The specific labelling requirements for a device subject to the Verification procedure are contained in Section
15.19(a). These labelling requirements are:
If the device is subject only to Verification, include a label bearing a unique identifier (Section 2.954) and one
of three compliance statements specified in Section 15.19(a). If the labeling area for the device is so small,
and/or it is not practical to place the compliance statement on the device, then the statement can be placed in
the user manual or product packaging (Section 15.19(a)(5)). However, the device must still be labelled with
the unique identifier (Verification). Generally, devices smaller than the palm of the hand are considered too
small for the compliance statement.
     Certification
If the device is subject to Certification: (1) Section 2.925 contains information on identification of the
equipment; (2) include a label bearing an FCC Identifier (FCC ID) (Section 2.926) and (3) include the
appropriate compliance statement in Section 15.19(a). If the device is considered too small and therefore it is
impractical (smaller than the palm of the hand) to display the compliance statement, then the statement may
be placed in the user manual or product packaging. However, the device must still be labelled with the FCC ID.
If the device is unquestionably too small for the FCC ID to be readable (smaller than 4-6 points), the FCC ID
may be placed in the user manual. However, it must be determined that the device itself is too small – the
label area allocated to the FCC ID may not be reduced because of over crowded identification of other
product and regulatory information.
An electronic display of the FCC ID (see 9. Electronic Labelling below) may be used for Certification of
Section 15.212 modular transmitters and software defined radios (Section 2.944).
     Declaration of Conformity (DoC):
The labelling requirements for a device subject to the DoC procedure are specified in Section 15.19(b). The
label should include the FCC logo along with the Trade Name and Model Number, which satisfies the unique
identifier requirement of Section 2.1074 if it represents the identical equipment tested for DoC compliance.
For personal computers assembled from authorized components, the following additional text must also be
included: “Assembled from tested components,” “Complete system not tested.” When the device is so small
and/or when it is not practical to place the required additional text on the device, the text may be placed in the
user manual or pamphlet supplied to the user. However, the FCC logo, Trade Name, and Model Number must
still be displayed on the device (Section 15.19(b)(3)).




                            Part 15 Declaration of Conformity (DoC) Label Examples
Equipment certified as software defined radio may use a means that readily displays the FCC ID on an
electronic display screen, instead of labelling the device (Section 2.925 (e)).
Further information may refer to FCC KDB:784748 D01 Labelling Part 15 &18 Guidelines
Labelling Requirements for ICES-003 Devices:
     Industry Canada ICES-003 Compliance Label:
CAN ICES-3 (*)/NMB-3(*)
* Insert either “A” or “B” but not both to identify the applicable Class of ITE.

5.3   Test Arrangement
a. The EUT was placed 0.4 meters from the conducting wall of the shielded room with EUT being connected
   to the power mains through a line impedance stabilization network (LISN). Other support units were
   connected to the power mains through another LISN. The two LISNs provide 50 Ohm/ 50uH of coupling
   impedance for the measuring instrument.
b. Both lines of the power mains connected to the EUT were checked for maximum conducted interference.
c. The test results of conducted emissions at mains ports are recorded of six worst margins for quasi-peak
   (mandatory) [and average (if necessary)] values against the limits at frequencies of interest unless the
   margin is 20 dB or greater.
Note: The resolution bandwidth and video bandwidth of test receiver is 9kHz for quasi-peak detection (QP) and
      average detection (AV) at frequency 0.15MHz-30MHz.




For the actual test configuration, please refer to the related Item – Photographs of the Test Configuration.



5.4   Supplementary Information
 There is not any deviation from the test standards for the test method.

6.3   Test Arrangement
a. The EUT was placed on the top of a rotating table 0.8 meters above the ground at an accredited test facility.
   The table was rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the highest radiation.
b. The EUT was set 10 meters away from the interference-receiving antenna, which was mounted on the top
   of a variable-height antenna tower.
c. The antenna is a broadband antenna, and its height is varied from one meter to four meters above the
   ground to determine the maximum value of the field strength. Both horizontal and vertical polarizations of
   the antenna are set to make the measurement.
d. For each suspected emission, the EUT was arranged to its worst case and then the antenna was tuned to
   heights from 1 meter to 4 meters and the rotatable table was turned from 0 degrees to 360 degrees to find
   the maximum reading.
e. The test-receiver system was set to quasi-peak detect function and specified bandwidth with maximum
   hold mode when the test frequency is below 1 GHz.

Note: The resolution bandwidth and video bandwidth of test receiver/spectrum analyzer is 120kHz for
      quasi-peak detection (QP) at frequency below 1GHz.

7.3   Test Arrangement
a. The EUT was placed on the top of a rotating table 0.8 meters above the ground at an accredited chamber
   room. The table was rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the highest radiation.
b. The EUT was set 3 meters away from the interference-receiving antenna, which was mounted on the top
   of a variable-height antenna tower.
c. The height of antenna can be varied from one meter to four meters, the height of adjustment depends on
   the EUT height and the antenna 3dB beamwidth both, to detect the maximum value of the field strength.
   Both horizontal and vertical polarizations of the antenna are set to make the measurement.
d. For each suspected emission, the EUT was arranged to its worst case and then the antenna was tuned to
   heights and the rotatable table was turned from 0 degrees to 360 degrees to find the maximum reading.
e. The spectrum analyzer system was set to peak and average detect function and specified bandwidth with
   maximum hold mode when the test frequency is above 1 GHz.

Note: The resolution bandwidth of test receiver/spectrum analyzer is 1MHz and video bandwidth is 3MHz for
      Peak detection (PK) at frequency above 1GHz. The resolution bandwidth of test receiver/spectrum
      analyzer is 1 MHz for Average detection (AV) at frequency above 1GHz.

Remarks:
            1. Emission Level(dBuV/m) = Raw Value(dBuV) + Correction Factor(dB/m)
            2. Correction Factor(dB/m) = Antenna Factor (dB/m) + Cable Factor (dB)
                                            – Pre-Amplifier Factor (dB)
            3. The other emission levels were very low against the limit.
            4. Margin value = Emission level – Limit value
