FCC Testing

Supplier Declaration of Conformity

GME is an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory testing products for compliance with FCC Supplier Declaration of Conformity Rules of 47 CFR Part 15.

The SDoC process is a new process as of 2017 replacing verification and the older DoC method. See excerpts from the FCC FCC ET Docket 15-170 on Updating the Equipment Authorization Program.

The Commission required manufacturers to self-approve certain devices under one of two processes. The new Order combines those processes into one, called the Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity, simplifying and reducing burdens associated with the equipment authorization process. This process includes:

• Streamlining the Self-Approval Process
• Allowing Electronic Labeling
• Easing Burdensome Importation Requirements
• Updating Measurement Procedures and Clarifying Standards
