                       TITLE 47--TELECOMMUNICATION

 

              CHAPTER I--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

 

PART 15_RADIO FREQUENCY DEVICES--Table of Contents

 

                     Subpart C_Intentional Radiators

 

Sec. 15.201  Equipment authorization requirement.





    (a) Intentional radiators operated as carrier current systems, 

devices operated under the provisions of Sec. Sec. 15.211, 15.213, and 

15.221, and devices operating below 490 kHz in which all emissions are 

at least 40 dB below the limits in Sec. 15.209 shall be verified 

pursuant to the procedures in Subpart J of part 2 of this chapter prior 

to marketing.

    (b) Except as otherwise exempted in paragraph (c) of this section 

and in Sec. 15.23 of this part, all intentional radiators operating 

under the provisions of this part shall be certificated by the 

Commission pursuant to the procedures in subpart J of part 2 of this 

chapter prior to marketing.

    (c) For devices such as perimeter protection systems which, in 

accordance with Sec. 15.31(d), are required to be measured at the 

installation site, each application for certification must be 

accompanied by a statement indicating that the system has been tested at 

three installations and found to comply at each installation. Until such 

time as certification is granted, a given installation of a system that 

was measured for the submission for certification will be considered to 

be in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, including the 

marketing regulations in subpart I of part 2 of this chapter, if tests 

at that installation show the system to be in compliance with the 

relevant technical requirements. Similarly, where measurements must be 

performed on site for equipment subject to verification, a given 

installation that has been verified to demonstrate compliance with the 

applicable standards will be considered to be in compliance with the 

provisions of this chapter, including the marketing regulations in 

subpart I of part 2 of this chapter.

    (d) For perimeter protection systems operating in the frequency 

bands allocated to television broadcast stations operating under part 73 

of this chapter, the holder of the grant of certification must test each 

installation prior to initiation of normal operation to verify 

compliance with the technical standards and must maintain a list of all 

installations and records of measurements. For perimeter protection 

systems operating outside of the frequency bands allocated to television 

broadcast stations, upon receipt of a grant of certification, further 

testing of the same or similar type of system or installation is not 

required.
