FCC Part 15 Subpart B Unintentional Radiator Compliance Testing: A Comprehensive Guide to Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates the use of radio frequency (RF) energy in the United States, and Part 15 Subpart B of the FCC regulations pertains specifically to unintentional radiators. An unintentional radiator is any device that emits RF energy as a result of its intended operation, but not as an integral part of a transmitter or receiver. Compliance testing for these devices ensures that they do not interfere with other authorized radio frequency communications.

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with FCC regulations. The following ISO standards are relevant to FCC Part 15 Subpart B Unintentional Radiator Compliance Testing:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2005, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ISO/IEC 17065:2012, Conformity assessment - Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes, and services

    • In addition to ISO standards, the following national and international standards are applicable:

  • EN 300 330-1:2006, Broadband radio access networks (BRAN); Base Station (BS) conformance testing; Part 1: Specific requirements

  • TSE EN 301 489-1:2015, Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum matters (ERM); Essential Grids (EG); Part 1: General

  • ASTM F963-17, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety

    • The FCC regulations are based on the principle of no harmful interference between devices. The following standards provide guidance on evaluating RF emissions:

  • ANSI C63.2:2009, Methods of measurement of radio-frequency electromagnetic field strength, emitted by mobile phones and similar devices

  • IEC 61851-1:2017, Electrical safety, electrical equipment for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles - Part 1: Vocabulary

    • Standard Requirements and Needs

    FCC Part 15 Subpart B Unintentional Radiator Compliance Testing is necessary to ensure that devices do not interfere with other authorized radio frequency communications. The consequences of non-compliance include:

  • Radio frequency interference (RFI) with other devices

  • Non-compliance with FCC regulations, resulting in fines and penalties

  • Damage to reputation and brand image

  • Potential harm to human health

    • The industries and sectors that require this testing are varied and include:

  • Electronics manufacturing

  • Automotive industry

  • Medical device manufacturers

  • Telecommunications equipment suppliers

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    FCC Part 15 Subpart B Unintentional Radiator Compliance Testing involves the measurement of RF emissions from devices. The following step-by-step explanation outlines the test conditions and methodology:

    1. Sample preparation: Devices are prepared according to manufacturers instructions.

    2. Testing equipment: RF emission measuring instruments, such as spectrum analyzers or field strength meters, are used to measure RF energy.

    3. Testing environment: Devices are tested in a controlled environment with specified temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions.

    4. Measurement parameters: RF emissions are measured at specific frequencies and power levels.

    5. Data analysis: Measured data is analyzed to determine compliance with FCC regulations.
