§ 15.19 Labelling requirements.
(a) In addition to the requirements in part 2 of this chapter, a device
subject to certification, or verification shall be labelled as follows:
(1) Receivers associated with the operation of a licensed radio
service, e.g., FM broadcast under part 73 of this chapter, land mobile
operation under part 90, etc., shall bear the following statement in a
conspicuous location on the device:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful
interference.
(2) A stand-alone cable input selector switch, shall bear the following
statement in a conspicuous location on the device:
This device is verified to comply with part 15 of the FCC Rules for use
with cable television service.
(3) All other devices shall bear the following statement in a
conspicuous location on the device:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
(4) Where a device is constructed in two or more sections connected by
wires and marketed together, the statement specified under paragraph
(a) of this section is required to be affixed only to the main control
unit.
(5) When the device is so small or for such use that it is not
practicable to place the statement specified under paragraph (a) of
this section on it, the information required by this paragraph shall be
placed in a prominent location in the instruction manual or pamphlet
supplied to the user or, alternatively, shall be placed on the
container in which the device is marketed. However, the FCC identifier
or the unique identifier, as appropriate, must be displayed on the
device.
(b) Products subject to authorization under a Declaration of Conformity
shall be labelled as follows:
(1) The label shall be located in a conspicuous location on the device
and shall contain the unique identification described in § 2.1074 of
this chapter and the following logo:
(i) If the product is authorized based on testing of the product or
system; or

(2) Label text and information should be in a size of type large enough
to be readily legible, consistent with the dimensions of the equipment
and the label. However, the type size for the text is not required to
be larger than eight point.
(3) When the device is so small or for such use that it is not
practicable to place the statement specified under paragraph (b)(1) of
this section on it, such as for a CPU board or a plug-in circuit board
peripheral device, the text associated with the logo may be placed in a
prominent location in the instruction manual or pamphlet supplied to
the user. However, the unique identification (trade name and model
number) and the logo must be displayed on the device.
(4) The label shall not be a stick-on, paper label. The label on these
products shall be permanently affixed to the product and shall be
readily visible to the purchaser at the time of purchase, as described
in § 2.925(d) of this chapter. “Permanently affixed” means that the
label is etched, engraved, stamped, silkscreened, indelibly printed, or
otherwise permanently marked on a permanently attached part of the
equipment or on a nameplate of metal, plastic, or other material
fastened to the equipment by welding, riveting, or a permanent
adhesive. The label must be designed to last the expected lifetime of
the equipment in the environment in which the equipment may be operated
and must not be readily detachable.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) Consumer electronics TV receiving devices, including TV receivers,
videocassette recorders, and similar devices, that incorporate features
intended to be used with cable television service, but do not fully
comply with the technical standards for cable ready equipment set forth
in § 15.118, shall not be marketed with terminology that describes the
device as “cable ready” or “cable compatible,” or that otherwise
conveys the impression that the device is fully compatible with cable
service. Factual statements about the various features of a device that
are intended for use with cable service or the quality of such features
are acceptable so long as such statements do not imply that the device
is fully compatible with cable service. Statements relating to product
features are generally acceptable where they are limited to one or more
specific features of a device, rather than the device as a whole. This
requirement applies to consumer TV receivers, videocassette recorders
and similar devices manufactured or imported for sale in this country
on or after October 31, 1994.
