Equipment Authorization Requirements for Digital Devices.
    (a) The Declaration of Conformity equipment authorization 
procedure, 47 CFR 2.1071, requires that a manufacturers or equipment 
supplier test a product to ensure compliance with technical standards 
that limit radio frequency emissions.
    (b) Additionally, the manufacturer or supplier must also include a 
DoC (with the standards) in the literature furnished with the 
equipment, and the equipment manufacturer or supplier must also make 
this statement of conformity and supporting technical data available to 
the FCC, at the Commission's request.
    (c) The DoC procedure represents a simplified filing and reporting 
procedure for authorizing equipment for marketing.
    (d) Finally, testing and documentation of compliance are needed to 
control potential interference to radio communications. The data

interference or for verifying the manufacturer's compliance with the
