   The Federal Communications Commission has released a Report and Order   
   updating its equipment authorization rules to incorporate new   
   standards for testing devices subject to the rules. Radio frequency   
   (RF) devices must be tested to ensure that they comply with the FCC's   
   technical requirements before they are marketed or imported in the   
   United States. The new rules align with the FCC's ongoing efforts to   
   ensure new RF devices do not cause harmful interference to other   
   devices. Most of the changes focus on amending site validation and   
   testing requirements. However, the FCC also deleted outdated   
   references and transition periods within the existing rules.   
      
   The FCC monitors and updates its technical requirements by   
   incorporating best practices from standards-setting bodies. In this   
   latest update, the FCC incorporated standards for testing for RF   
   emissions established by the American National Standards Institute   
   (ANSI), Accredited Standards Committee C63 (ANSC C63) and the   
   International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
