Guidelines for Labelling and User Information for Devices Subject to Part 15
( from FCC 784748 D01 Labelling Part 15 &18 Guidelines v07)
Labelling Requirements for Part 15 Devices:
Verification
The specific labelling requirements for a device subject to the Verification procedure are
contained in Section 15.19(a). These labelling requirements are:
If the device is subject only to Verification, include a label bearing a unique identifier (Section
2.954) and one of three compliance statements specified in Section 15.19(a). If the labelling
area for the device is so small, and/or it is not practical to place the compliance statement on the
device, then the statement can be placed in the user manual or product packaging (Section
15.19(a)(5)). However, the device must still be labelled with the unique identifier (Verification).
Generally, devices smaller than the palm of the hand are considered too small for the ompliance
statement.
Certification
If the device is subject to Certification: (1) Section 2.925 contains information on identification
of the equipment; (2) include a label bearing an FCC Identifier (FCC ID) (Section 2.926) and (3)
include the appropriate compliance statement in Section 15.19(a). If the device is considered
too small and therefore it is impractical (smaller than the palm of the hand) to display the
compliance statement, then the statement may be placed in the user manual or product
packaging. However, the device must still be labelled with the FCC ID. If the device is
unquestionably too small for the FCC ID to be readable (smaller than 4-6 points), the FCC ID
may be placed in the user manual. However, it must be determined that the device itself is too
small the label area allocated to the FCC ID may not be reduced because of over crowded
identification of other product and regulatory information.
An electronic display of the FCC ID (see 9. Electronic Labelling below) may be used for
Certification of Section 15.212 modular transmitters and software defined radios (Section
2.944).
Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
The labelling requirements for a device subject to the DoC procedure are specified in Section
15.19(b). The label should include the FCC logo along with the Trade Name and Model Number,
which satisfies the unique identifier requirement of Section 2.1074 if it represents the identical
equipment tested for DoC compliance. For personal computers assembled from authorized
components, the following additional text must also be included: “Assembled from tested
components,” “Complete system not tested. When the device is so small and/or when it is not
