The Commission currently requires manufacturers to self-approve certain devices under one of two processes. The Order would combine those processes into one, called<br \/>\nthe Supplier\u2019s Declaration of Conformity. This will both simplify and reduce burdens associated with the<br \/>\nequipment authorization process.<\/li>\n<li>Allow Electronic Labeling. The Commission would provide for the use of electronic labeling for the<br \/>\ninformation required under our rules to be displayed on products or otherwise provided with products,<br \/>\nsuch as the FCC identification number and compliance statement. Doing so codifies many of the<br \/>\nCommission\u2019s existing practices and satisfies specific legislative requirements. The use of electronic<br \/>\nlabelling rather than permanent physical labels reduces costs for manufacturers.<\/li>\n<li>Ease Burdensome Importation Requirements. The Order would eliminate the requirement to file the<br \/>\nimport declaration for RF devices brought into the United States with CBP. This requirement has become<br \/>\nincreasingly outdated and burdensome in light of current importation and marketing practices, the<br \/>\ninformation otherwise collected by CBP itself, and the wealth of information available online. The Order<br \/>\nwould also modify Commission rules to clarify the compliance requirements related to imported devices<br \/>\nand to provide additional flexibility in certain cases.<\/li>\n<li>Update Measurement Procedures and Clarify Standards. The Order would revise Commission<br \/>\nmeasurement procedures to streamline and consolidate requirements for devices used in different<br \/>\nservices. This will increase our agility to respond to changes in technology and in industry standards, and<br \/>\nenhance the general understanding of Commission measurement requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FCC is intending to update the equipment authorization rules as published in its draft R&amp;O (ET Docket 15-170).
