Case Study

Ensuring the safety of consumer electronics

In the United States, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted a rule that permits recognition of Self Declaration of Conformity for certain information technology devices. For other equipment, such as personal computers and attachments thereto, the FCC allows the equipment declared compliant by the supplier, under a process called Declaration of Conformity, provided that supporting test results are obtained from a recognised laboratory.

Further information is available on the FCC website.
