Device classifications
Since host devices vary widely with design features and configurations, module integrators shall follow the
guidelines below regarding device classification and simultaneous transmission and seek guidance from their
preferred regulatory test lab to determine how regulatory guidelines will impact the device compliance. Proactive
management of the regulatory process will minimize unexpected schedule delays and costs due to unplanned
testing activities.
The module integrator must determine the minimum distance required between their host device and the user’s
body. The FCC provides device classification definitions to assist in making the correct determination. Note that
these classifications are guidelines only; strict adherence to a device classification may not satisfy the regulatory
requirement as near-body device design details may vary widely. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist in
determining the appropriate device category for your host product and if a KDB or PBA must be submitted to the
FCC.
Note: The module you are using has been granted modular approval for mobile applications. Portable applications
may require further RF exposure (SAR) evaluations. It is also likely that the host/module combination will need to
undergo testing for FCC Part 15 regardless of the device classification. Your preferred test lab will be able to assist
in determining the exact tests which are required on the host/module combination.
FCC definitions
Portable: (§2.1093) —A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the
radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.
