Template:Fcc SDoC description
As specified in official FCC website, there are three main ways of authorizing the equipment:
- Certification process
- Suppliers Declaration of Conformity
- One or both procedures
Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC)
Is a procedure that requires the party responsible for compliance ensure that the equipment complies with the appropriate technical standards. The responsible party, who must be located in the United States, is not required to file an equipment authorization application with the Commission or a TCB. Equipment authorized under the SDoC procedure is not listed in a Commission database. However, the responsible party or any other party marketing the equipment must provide a test report and other information demonstrating compliance with the rules upon request by the Commission. The responsible party has the option to use the certification procedure in place of the SDoC procedure.
