FCC & Industry Canada Labeling

My friend Andrew Roberts summarized this and I thought others may have this same question.

Question:

What should manufacturers do after they have a compliant unintentional radiator report to fulfill FCC and ISED requirements?

Answer:

1. The test report shall be retained by the manufacturer or importer for as long as the ITE model is manufactured, imported, distributed, sold, offered for sale and/or leased in the United States and Canada, and shall be made available to the ISED and FCC upon request.
2. Include the FCC and ISED label requirements below
3. Assign a responsible party for each country. This responsible party must reside in the United States for FCC and Canada for ISED. He/she will be the first point of contact for the FCC and ISED respectively if they request supporting documentation for compliance.

The text below filled in with manufacturer, model and Class (A or B) of the product can be used to fulfill the user manual requirements. Responsible party contact information is also required. The explanatory notes highlighted shall be removed.

FCC regulatory compliance

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. (NOTE: this two-part statement is required for the FCC label)

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class (* see below) digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

? Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

? Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

? Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver

              is connected.

? Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Important: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by <manufacturer> could void the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and wireless compliance and negate your authority to operate the product. This product has demonstrated EMC compliance under conditions that included the use of compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between system components. It is important that you use compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between system components to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices.

If necessary, contact <manufacturer> or take your <model name> to an authorized repair center, such as an <service provider>. Or consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
