Wireless Industry Meets OET on RF Issues at FCC Lab

The Mobile & Wireless Forum and the Telecommunications Industry Association met Chief Julius Knapp and others from the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology to update them on the status of international RF exposure guidelines. The groups recommended their adoption and discussed with staff technical product testing issues, said a filing posted Tuesday in docket 13-84. Industry representatives met with OET staff at the FCC Lab in Columbia, Maryland. Among areas discussed was a proposal to allow telecom certification bodies, the labs that already certify most new products that need FCC sign off, to approve equipment without agency review.
