35、 achieve approval by the Suppliers Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) method or Telecommunications Certification Body (TCB) certification described in Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules, 47 C.F.R. Part 68. It provides the “glue“ or links between other documents that focus on specific aspect
36、s of the process, such as the TTE technical criteria or labeling requirements, and maps those documents into the overall process. This version (TSB-129-B) replaces TSB-129-A and TSB-129-A-1 and is intended to be sufficiently detailed to deal with most of the questions and issues that might arise, bu
37、t readers need to be aware that updates and revisions are likely as new issues surface. This TSB was produced by Subcommittee TR-41.9, Regulatory Considerations. It was developed in accordance with TIA procedures and represents the consensus position of the subcommittee, which served as the formulat
38、ing group. It has also received concurrence from Engineering Committee TR-41, User Premises Telecommunications Requirements. This TSB may be updated periodically as necessary.
