A: Many forms such as the "Form 731" for FCC and "application form" for IC can be found on our documents page. For guidance or questions regarding complex projects, contact your regional ACB representative.

A: If the project contains all required reports, forms, photos and documentation the certification could possibly be issued in 3-7 days. However, should any part of the project require additional info or clarification, ACB will request the information and the clients response time to correct and/or address any issues will have an impact on the total project time.

A: Certification of wireless devices refers to the confirmation of certain characteristics of wireless device by the country regulator or certification body. This confirmation is provided by some form of external review and/or assessment under the authority of the spectrum regulator. In the US that would be the FCC and in Canada IC. By contrast, the R&TTE Directive is a Declaration of Conformity approach.

A: CE marking is not a certification primarily because the confirmation of these characteristics is not done by the spectrum regulators, or a certification body but is declared solely under the responsibility of the manufacturer or person placing the wireless device on the EU market. While that party may employ the review of a Notified Body; any review is purely the opinion of a Notified Body given to the manufacturer or responsible party and is not the formal authorization/confirmation of the device by the spectrum regulators.
