Sec. 15.37 Transition provisions for compliance with the rules.
Equipment may be authorized, manufactured and imported under the rules in
effect prior to June 23, 1989, in accordance with the following schedules:
(a) For all intentional and unintentional radiators, except for receivers:
Radio frequency equipment verified by the responsible party or for which an
application for a grant of equipment authorization is submitted to the
Commission on or after June 23, 1992, shall comply with the regulations
specified in this part. Radio frequency equipment that is manufactured or
imported on or after June 23, 1994, shall comply with the regulations
specified in this part.
(b) For receivers: Receivers subject to the regulations in this part that
are manufactured or imported on or after June 23, 1999, shall comply with
the regulations specified in this part. However, if a receiver is associated
with a transmitter that could not have been authorized under the regulations
in effect prior to June 23, 1989, e.g., a transmitter operating under the
provisions of Sec. 15.209 or Sec. 15.249 (below 960 MHz), the transition provisions
in this section do not apply. Such receivers must comply with the
regulations in this part. In addition, receivers are subject to the
provisions in paragraph (f) of this section.
(c) There are no restrictions on the operation or marketing of equipment
complying with the regulations in effect prior to June 23, 1989.
(d) Prior to May 25, 1991, person shall import, market or operate
intentional radiators within the band 902–905 MHz under the provisions of
Sec. 15.249. Until that date, the Commission will not issue a grant of equipment
authorization for equipment operating under Sec. 15.249 if the equipment is
designed to permit operation within the band 902–905 MHz.
(e) For cordless telephones: The manufacture and importation of cordless
telephones not complying with Sec. 15.214(d) of this part shall cease on or
before September 11, 1991. These provisions will not apply to cordless
telephones which are repaired or refurbished, or re-imported after repair or
refurbishment. Applications for a grant of equipment authorization of
cordless telephones not complying with Sec. 15.214(d) of this part will not be
accepted by the Commission after May 10, 1991. Cordless telephones that have
previously received equipment authorization and that, without modification,
already comply with the requirements of Sec. 15.214(d) of this part, need not be
reauthorized.
(f) The manufacture or importation of scanning receivers, and frequency
converters designed or marketed for use with scanning receivers, that do not
comply with the provisions of Sec. 15.121(a)(1) shall cease on or before April
26, 1994. Effective April 26, 1993, the Commission will not grant equipment
authorization for receivers that do not comply with the provisions of
Sec. 15.121(a)(1). These rules do not prohibit the sale or use of authorized
receivers manufactured in the United States, or imported into the United
States, prior to April 26, 1994.
(g) For CPU boards and power supplies designed to be used with personal
computers: The manufacture and importation of these products shall cease on
or before June 19, 1997 unless these products have been authorized under a
Declaration of Conformity or a grant of certification, demonstrating
compliance with all of the provisions in this part. Limited provisions, as
detailed in Sec. 15.101(d), are provided to permit the importation and
manufacture of these products subsequent to this date where the CPU boards
and/or power supplies are marketed only to personal computer equipment
manufacturers.
(h) The manufacture or importation of scanning receivers, and frequency
converters designed or marketed for use with scanning receivers, that do not
comply with the provisions of Sec. 15.121 shall cease on or before October 25,
1999. Effective July 26, 1999 the Commission will not grant equipment
authorization for receivers that do not comply with the provisions of
Sec. 15.121. This paragraph does not prohibit the sale or use of authorized
receivers manufactured in the United States, or imported into the United
States, prior to October 25, 1999.
(i) Effective October 16, 2002, an equipment approval may no longer be
obtained for medical telemetry equipment operating under the provisions of
Sec. 15.241 or Sec. 15.242. The requirements for obtaining an approval for medical
telemetry equipment after this date are found in Subpart H of Part 95 of
this chapter.
(j) All radio frequency devices that are authorized under the certification,
verification or declaration of conformity procedures on or after July 12,
2004 shall comply with the conducted limits specified in Sec. 15.107 or Sec. 15.207
as appropriate. All radio frequency devices that are manufactured or
imported on or after July 11, 2005 shall comply with the conducted limits
specified in Sec. 15.107 or Sec. 15.207, as appropriate. Equipment authorized,
imported or manufactured prior to these dates shall comply with the

the conducted limits that were in effect immediately prior to September 9,
2002.

marketed after September 27, 2002 shall comply with the regulations
specified in this part. Radar detectors manufactured or imported prior to
January 27, 2003 may be labeled with the information required by Sec. Sec. 2.925 and
15.19(a) of this chapter on the individual equipment carton rather than on
the device, and are exempt from complying with the requirements of Sec. 15.21.
(l) U–NII equipment operating in the 5.25–5.35 GHz band for which
applications for certification are filed on or after July 20, 2006 shall
