Explain the exemptions more. What kind of digital consumer products get exempted?
Each product is different, and product design may require FCC compliance. But here are some products that are often exempted for the technical reasons above. Common products that get exempted are: • Some basic digital battery operated devices that don’t connect to the power grid – like some exercise pedometers, stop watches, wall clocks, SOME basic sound-making toys / novelties. These exempted by the less than 1.705 MHz rule. • White good appliances like washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers and other digital ‘smart’ appliances may be exempt under the appliance exemption. • ‘Under the hood’ automotive parts are covered by the vehicle exemption. The determination of whether a product is exempt should be made with the product’s technical information by someone competent in this matter. Bureau Veritas offers this technical consulting services to evaluate designs that may be exempt. Contact Engineering Services in the Buffalo, NY office.
