§ 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.
