FCC Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDoC)

SDoC is a procedure where the responsible party makes measurements or completes

other procedures to ensure that the equipment complies with the appropriate

technical standards.

FCC puts legal liabilities on Suppliers to:1. Maintenances Compliance traceability 2. To validate they are complies to the

appropriate standards3. To be ready for market surveillance

FCC & ISED - Factors to consider

18

1. Antenna 2. RF-Exposure Evaluation

3. FCC Modular Approval Conditions

FCC Authorization routes – Example

19

Example:

A board with the following criteria’s:

• Multiple transmitters• Integrated with Cellular module; 3G UMTS

– FCC certification - YES• Integrated with BLE

– FCC certification - Yes• Intend of use: D>20cm • Same antenna type used by manufacturer
