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
