The primary condition for using the SDoC procedure: The equipment has a responsible party in the United States. This responsible party information needs to be reflected in a certain information format in the document accompanying the product(electronic file format can also be, provided that there is a real file to guide the user how to obtain E-copy), that is, the compliance information statement required in2.1077.
Special responsibility of the responsible party: The representative of the responsible party must sign the approval of the compliance test report of the equipment. This representative does not require that it be in the United States. Once required by the FCC, the United States responsible party must be able to provide free compliance information, test reports and equipment samples to the FCC.
When there is no United States native responsible party role, stricter FCC certification can be used as an alternative to meet FCC regulations.
The use of equipment approved by the old program before November 2, 2018, after November 2, 2018, without any changes in the product(including any design, circuit or structure changes, etc., except for the change of the responsible party in the original DoC approval), It is not subject to the new regulations, that is, SDOC, There is no need to re-apply for testing or transfer to SPOC.
Comparative changes between SDoC and DoC and VoC: Compared with DoC, SDoC has no test laboratory FCC accreditation requirements, meets SDoC equipment, and FCC Logo is voluntarily non-mandatory; Compared to VoC, SDoC compliant devices provide the option to use the FCC Logo.
For devices that fall under the control of both ID and SDoC, when applying for ID authentication to submit "tags", the label requirements of SDoC must also be met. The label referred to by SDoC is product identification information.
