Telecommunications Certification Bodies (TCBs) will not be permitted to certify TVBDs until the FCC has more experience with them and can properly advise TCBs on how to applythe applicable rules. Sensing-only TVBDs have additional approval requirements that are listed below.Please refer to 47 C.F.R. § 15.701, et. seq.for detailed information on the TVBD approval requirements and 47 C.F.R. § 2.901, et. seq. for information on the equipment certification procedures. 15.What are the approval requirements for sensing-only TVBDS? Sensing-only TVBDs must demonstrate with an extremely high degree of confidence that theywill not cause harmful interference to incumbent radio services. The device must meet the requirements for personal/portable
