Sec. 15.23  Home-built devices.



    (a) Equipment authorization is not required for devices that are not 

marketed, are not constructed from a kit, and are built in quantities of 

five or less for personal use.

    (b) It is recognized that the individual builder of home-built 

equipment may not possess the means to perform the measurements for 

determining compliance with the regulations. In this case, the builder 

is expected to employ good engineering practices to meet the specified 

technical standards to the greatest extent practicable. The provisions 

of Sec. 15.5 apply to this equipment.
