News flash -- FCC changes Conducted Emissions limits, 10 JUL 2002.

This document briefly summarizes the following families of emissions standards for information technology equipment (ITE) and related (generic) equipment:

NOTE: ??? means that no withdrawal date has been published for this standard, as of the date of this document.

DISCLAIMER
These documents are freely offered to anyone who wishes to use them. No warranty for their use is expressed or implied. The most-current versions may be downloaded from the dBi Corporation web site http://www.dbicorporation.com/. The information in these documents is believed to be correct, as far as it goes, because they are based strictly on the FCC regulations, Official Journal of the European Communities (OJ) and the test standards themselves- see Bibliography. Nevertheless, please base your decisions on the current FCC regulations, appropriate issue(s) of the OJ, the pertinent test standard(s), and their amendments.

The "References standards:" and "Referenced by standards:" sections in particular are known to be incomplete. These sections can only be filled out by referring to the exact test standard/amendment. And we don't want to spend up to several hundred dollars buying a standard to get this information, when the OJ tells us that it is identical to one we already own!

COMMENTS
If you refer to one or more of these documents in written communications, please attribute them to http://www.dbicorporation.com/. Similarly, if you link to them from your own web page(s), we would appreciate an E-mail to jrbarnes@iglou.com giving the universal resource link (URL) so that we may provide a reciprocal link.

Comments: FCC Docket 98-80 was published in the Federal Register on
July 10, 2002. This changes the FCC conducted limits to match the CISPR
conducted limits, with a lower frequency limit of 150kHz instead of
450kHz as before. FCC Part 15 and Part 18 devices may be authorized
under the new or old FCC conducted limits for two years- 10 JUL 2002 to
10 JUL 2004. FCC Part 15 and Part 18 devices may be manufactured or
imported under the new or old FCC conducted limits for three years-
10 JUL 2002 to 10 JUL 2005. After these transition periods all newly-
authorized/manufactured/imported devices must meet the new limits.

Comments: Beginning August 19, 1996, Class B personal computers and
peripherals could be tested at an accredited laboratory, then put on the
market by creating a Document of Conformity (DoC). Computers could also
be assembled from authorized components, and marketed without testing.
Previously, you had to apply to the FCC to put these products on the
market, which caused substantial delays.
