Under FCC regulations, which entity is responsible for ensuring that equipment bearing its FCC ID continues to comply with FCC rules after authorization is granted?
Answer: The grantee (manufacturer/importer)
The grantee is responsible for ongoing compliance of authorized equipment and must maintain records and ensure continued conformance.
A technician is auditing a calibration registry and finds a gap in the chain of calibration records for a voltage reference. This gap is called:
Answer: A traceability gap
A traceability gap occurs when the unbroken chain of calibrations back to a national standard is interrupted, invalidating the reference's measurement integrity.
Which FCC authorization procedure requires that a device be tested at an accredited laboratory (TCB) and receive a grant before it can be marketed?
Answer: Certification
Certification (formerly type acceptance) requires third-party testing by a Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB) and an FCC grant before marketing.
In asset registry management, 'depreciation schedule' information is relevant because it:
Answer: Supports financial reporting and replacement planning
Depreciation schedules in a registry support financial accounting and help plan equipment replacement cycles before assets become unreliable.
An electronics technician finds a device in the shop with no visible FCC ID. What is the most likely compliance issue?
Answer: The device may have been sold without required FCC equipment authorization
Devices subject to FCC authorization must display the FCC ID; absence of this marking suggests the device was marketed without obtaining required authorization.
When a company changes the manufacturing location of an FCC-certified device but does not change its design, what must they do regarding the registry/authorization?
Answer: File a Class I permissive change with the FCC
A change in manufacturing location with no design change typically requires a Class I permissive change notification, which is the least burdensome change filing.
In preventive maintenance registry systems, the term 'condition-based maintenance' (CBM) differs from time-based maintenance in that CBM:
Answer: Is triggered by actual equipment condition data rather than fixed time intervals
Condition-based maintenance uses real-time monitoring data (vibration, temperature, output parameters) to trigger maintenance only when indicators show need.
