Why are some imported (to the U.S.) intentional radiators (such as
RC toys, fitness heart-rate monitors, etc.) not FCC EMC Part 15
certified (there is no FCC OET record on file)? These have CE
EMC Certification and a CE 'number'; is there a treaty that
exempts such devices from further FCC certification? Is there
a publicly accessible database of CE 'numbers' similar to the
FCC OET filings? I have found nothing of use on the 'net in
these matters?



If memory serves, there are a couple of "exemptions" which might be what
these units are using.

================

If the Effective Radiated Power is below a certain power level, then no
FCC certification is required.

There is also, I think, certain frequency ranges which allow slightly
higher power but still does not need FCC certification.
