Frequently Asked Questions
What is FCC Part 15?
FCC Part 15 contains regulations for radio frequency devices that operate without an individual license, including motorcycle key fobs, remote controls, and wireless automotive communication systems.
What are the main device categories under FCC Part 15?
FCC Part 15 covers unintentional radiators (devices that generate RF energy for internal use), intentional radiators (devices designed to transmit RF signals), and incidental radiators (devices that generate RF energy as a byproduct).
How does FCC Part 15 apply to motorcycle key systems?
FCC Part 15 regulates motorcycle key fobs and remote controls as intentional radiators, requiring compliance with emission limits, testing procedures, and labeling requirements for wireless communication with vehicle systems.
What testing is required for FCC Part 15 compliance?
Testing requirements include conducted and radiated emissions measurements, spurious emissions testing, antenna requirements verification, and SAR testing for devices used near the body, performed by accredited test laboratories.
