§ 2.901   Basis and purpose.

   (a) In order to carry out its responsibilities under the Communications
   Act and the various treaties and international regulations, and in
   order to promote efficient use of the radio spectrum, the Commission
   has developed technical standards for radio frequency equipment and
   parts or components thereof. The technical standards applicable to
   individual types of equipment are found in that part of the rules
   governing the service wherein the equipment is to be operated. In
   addition to the technical standards provided, the rules governing the
   service may require that such equipment be verified by the manufacturer
   or importer, be authorized under a Declaration of Conformity, or
   receive a grant of Certification from a Telecommunication Certification
   Body.

   (b) Sections 2.902 through 2.1077 describe the verification procedure,
   the procedure for a Declaration of Conformity, and the procedures to be
   followed in obtaining certification and the conditions attendant to
   such a grant.
