FCC Part 15
Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity
The Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) is a procedure (and exibit) that requires the party responsible for compliance to ensure that the equipment complies with the appropriate technical standards. The responsible party, who MUST be located in the United States, is not required to file an equipment authorization application with the FCC. The responsible party, or any other party that markets the equipment must provide test reports and other information to demonstrate compliance with the rules upon request by the FCC. Use of the FCC logo on SDoC authorized products is voluntary. The responsible party must compile and retain all pertinent records to show compliance with the FCC rules. The test report showing compliance must be signed by the responsible party. Products authorized using the SDoC procedure must include a compliance information statement in the product user manual, or as a separate sheet with the device. If the manual is only provided digitally, the statement must be included in the digital form of the manual. 1
