FCC Covered List Attestation Explained

Every applicant for FCC equipment certification must certify that the equipment is not "covered" equipment prohibited under 47 CFR 2.903, and state whether the applicant is an entity on the FCC Covered List. The rule took effect February 6, 2023. The Covered List now also names categories such as foreign-produced drones, routers, power inverters and robots.

What you certify
