Long-Term Confidentiality Request for Photos and Manuals
|
On
recent TCB training, the FCC allows applicants request
equipment internal photos and user's manuals
confidential with the FCC through a KDB Permit But Ask (PBA).
The internal photos and user's manuals shall meet the
following conditions:
Internal
Photos - Epoxied or otherwise sealed circuit board,
sealed device, non-consumer device serviceable only by
the grantee or designated tech (non-disclosure
agreement may be required)
User's
Manual - Technical and used as a service manual only by
qualified technicians (non-disclosure agreement may be
required). Manuals for OEM use only that include
proprietary information.
Hence,
please be sure that the applicant clearly states on the
request letter the justification to why the exhibits
should be held under long-term
confidentiality.
In addition, this request may cause a delay in the
issuing of the grant.

Industry
Canada Representative Requirement
|
|
[IC
Quote]
It
has come to IC's attention that the information about Canadian Representative submitted by applicants is not always accurate or valid. It was determined that more than 20% of the applications received contained incorrect, out of date or invalid information with regards to the Canadian Representative.
IC has established a new internal procedure to ensure that Canadian Representatives are valid and consequently, this introduces additional delays in processing applications.
Although this is not a requirement for CBs, IC is asking that CBs inform their clients that they should provide a signed letter from the Canadian representative in which they state their acceptance of this responsibility.
This would simplify our procedure and accelerate the processing of applications.
Failing to provide a signed letter from the Canadian Representative will mean that IC will have to validate the information by contacting the Canadian Representative, which will have an impact on the processing time of those applications.

|
|
The
FCC has updated the TCB post-market surveillance
requirements as of October 31st. Please note the following
has been added:
[FCC
Quote]
Stating
that a device is no longer manufactured is not a
sufficient excuse for not providing a sample. Also,
stating that the device will not be marketed in the United
States does not absolve the applicant/grantee of the
requirement to provide post grant production samples upon
request by the TCB or the FCC.
Failure
to provide a post-grant production sample(s) may result in
blocking of the Grantee Code for use in future equipment
authorization applications, or other FCC action"
[End
of Quote]
Please
be aware to keep at least one sample for post-grant
surveillance. Failure to provide a sample may result in
grantee code being blocked.
