Sec. 15.15  General technical requirements.



    (a) An intentional or unintentional radiator shall be constructed in 

accordance with good engineering design and manufacturing practice. 

Emanations from the device shall be suppressed as much as practicable, 

but in no case shall the emanations exceed the levels specified in these 

rules.

    (b) Except as follows, an intentional or unintentional radiator must 

be constructed such that the adjustments of any control that is readily 

accessible by or intended to be accessible to the user will not cause 

operation of the device in violation of the regulations. Access BPL 

equipment shall comply with the applicable standards at the control 

adjustment that is employed. The measurement report used in support of 

an application for Certification and the user instructions for Access 

BPL equipment shall clearly specify the user-or installer-control 

settings that are required for conformance with these regulations.

    (c) Parties responsible for equipment compliance should note that 

the limits specified in this part will not prevent harmful interference 

under all circumstances. Since the operators of part 15 devices are 

required to cease operation should harmful interference occur to 

authorized users of the radio frequency spectrum, the parties 

responsible for equipment compliance are encouraged to employ the 

minimum field strength necessary for communications, to provide greater 

attenuation of unwanted emissions than required by these regulations, 

and to advise the user as to how to resolve

harmful interference problems (for example, see Sec. 15.105(b)).
