Note: Because all the radiated emissions must be tested with the end product in any case and because the
end product manufacturer is fully responsible for the compliance of the end product, any antenna can be
selected for WT32i-E, not just the antenna type that Bluegiga has used in the CE approvals.
14.3 FCC Certification of an End Product
In FCC there are three different levels of product authorization:
 VERIFICATION
o Required for digital devices. The end product manufacturer verifies device to FCC rules by
performing the required tests and maintains the records in case of questions
 DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
o Required for computer peripherals and receivers. The product manufacturer tests the
emissions in a FCC recognized lab according to the relevant standards, maintains the records
in case of questions and creates DoC which is supplied with the device. FCC logo must be
placed on the product. The information about the DoC is shown in the user manual
 CERTIFICATION
o Required for most of the radio products. The radio has its own FCC ID and gets listed in FCC
files https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm. The FCC ID is labeled on the
product.
When using modular certified module, re-certification with the end product is not needed provided that the
conditions shown in the modules grant are fulfilled. The end product manufacturer is still responsible for the
DoC or the Verification of the end product as required.
The limitations and restrictions related to the modular certification of WT32i are described in the FCC grant of
the module. If the conditions mentioned in the grant are met, then only labelling the end product with
“Contains: QOQWT32I” is required.
If the conditions are not met, then there are three options to remove the restriction for the end product:
 Class 2 Permissive Change
o Can be done either by Bluegiga or an agent authorized by Bluegiga.
o The FCC ID of WT32i remains unchanged and the end product labelling requirements do not
change
 Change of ID
o Can be done by authorization of Bluegiga
o The FCC ID of WT32i is changed.
o The end product is labelled according to the new FCC ID of the module (“Contains:
XXXYYYY”)
o NOTE: Bluegiga will not deliver modules with custom labelling.
 New certification of the end product
o Done by the end product manufacturer
o Test reports of the module can be used to reduce the amount of testing
When using WT32i-E, only the antenna types approved with the module can be used. WT32i-E is certified
with a standard 2 dBi dipole. Any other type of antenna will require authorisation either through C2PC,
Change of ID or new certification.
