FCC will no longer accept applications for equipment certification
The FCC introduced a Report and order just before the new year that among other things, effectively puts them out of the RF device certification business and permits this activity to be performed solely by private Telecommunication Certification Bodies, also known as TCBs,The big take away is that the FCC will no longer be certifying products, however also included in this report is a new requirement that all testing be done at an “accredited” lab.
A quote from the report and order;
41. Proposal. In the Notice, the Commission proposed to require that all laboratories that test
equipment subject to Certification or to DoC under any rule part be accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, ending
the “2.948-listing” program for unaccredited labs to test equipment to be certified under Parts 15 and 18
of the rules.
Prior to this order devices subject to certification; such as radio transmitters, could be tested at any listed lab. This listing program is less rigorous and less expensive than full certification. The listing program simply requires that the lab file information with the FCC. In contrast, the accreditation requirement ensures that the the testing laboratory is competent to perform the required work, but it also requires that the laboratory be in a country that is recognized by the FCC, such as one with an established Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) with the United States.
Currently, many companies rely on test data suppled by third party test labs that are not accredited or are in countries which do not have an established MRA with the United States. As an example, there are no laboratories in China that are qualified to perform testing for FCC certification or DoC, due to the fact that there is no MRA between China and the United States.
Along with this change the FCC lays out the process for a pre-grant approval procedure to be followed when a TCB is faced with certification of a device based on new technology.
The FCC also makes clear in the report the TCB’s responsibility in performing “post-market” surveillance of products it has certified.

大致是什么意思啊
大概意思就是美国要与中国签MRA互认协议后，才放开FCC认证给中国本土的实验室做。不再接受FCC 2.948-listing列名实验室申请，FCC后续不审核实验室了全部交给TCB去干活。 2015/6/12FCC官网发布了14-208将在2015/7/13开始实施，同时在2015/6/12开始同时发布射频设备FCC认证授权规则，在2016/7/13开始失效，在新规则或认可才具有法律效力的FCC报告。
为了实现持续和实现快速推出新的和创新的产品推向市场，委员会通过规则建立成功使用，确保产品不会造成有害干扰对方或者其他通信设备和服务。
(一)截至2015年7月13日，证监会将不再受理申请证监会发出的设备认证补助金。
(二)2015年9月15日TCB应认可为ISO/IEC指南65和ISO/ IEC 17065之前(作为参考，看看§2.910)。或2015年9月15日TCB应认可的ISO/ IEC 17065后。
(三)在2015年9月15日之前组织认证的前瞻性的电信认证机构应能满足条件的要求和ISO/IEC指南61和ISO/ IEC 17011(作为参考，看看§2.910)。于2015年9月15日组织认证的前瞻性的电信认证机构应能满足ISO/ IEC 17011的要求和条件后。
(四)在2015年9月15日之前组织认证的前瞻性认可测试实验室应能满足条件的要求和ISO/IEC指南58和ISO/ IEC 17011。于2015年9月15日组织认证的预期认可测试实验室应能满足ISO/ IEC 17011的要求和条件后。
(五)委员会将不再接受§2.948测试网站在2015年7月13日上市申请。实验室是由证监会上市§2.948工艺下将继续上市直到早的到期日或2016年7月13日和五月继续提交认证申请2016年10月13日试验数据支持。实验室的有效期届满前2016年7月13日可能会要求委员会延长其到期日至2016年7月13日。
(六)测量设备用于从1到40GHz进行辐射发射测量应符合ANSIc63.4-2014现场验证选项，(条款1)5.5.1a)参考16-1-4:2010-04(CISPR)作为参考，看看§2.910)2018年7月13日。
(七)故意散热器除本章15部分的测量是在ANSIc63.10-2013应用程序(作为参考，看看§2.910)2016年7月13日。
(八)在2016年7月13日之后，FCC 无意辐射体产品的测试方法要用ANSI C63.4-2014法规，除了4.5.3, 4.6, 6.2.13, 8.2.2, 9 和13章节之外(具体可以参考 FCC part 2.910)
