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.
