FCC Proposes to Restrict Recognized Laboratories to the United States and Reciprocal Economies

1 reports · 1 sources

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr proposed a final rule on October 7 that would limit FCC-recognized testing laboratories to within the United States and reciprocal economies; it was submitted to the full Commission for a vote on October 29, and if passed, all equipment authorization testing and certification would have to be completed in the above regions starting December 1, 2028. During the transition period, testing laboratories in non-reciprocal economies may still obtain recognition, but the recognition period would be uniformly shortened to end on the transition date, and full two-year recognition periods would no longer be granted. The FCC declined to establish a general exemption procedure for laboratories in non-reciprocal economies, and also declined risk-based exceptions or a whitelist mechanism.
