Abstract :
Over the past few years, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made a number of substantial changes to its Rules for controlling unwanted radio frequency (RF) emissions from electronic apparatus to protect radio communications in the USA. The most notable change has been the adoption and use of the international standard CISPR Publication 22 for computers and similar information technology equipment. Because of the trend towards globalization of markets, the FCC is considering additional changes to its Rules, particularly in the area of conformity assessment. An update of the FCC Rules and some insights of staff thinking for proposed changes to the Rules are discussed
