PROCUREMENT:2.1 | Industrial equipment (ISM) using radio frequencies above 9 kHz shall| comply to thi
9、s standard. To facilitate compliance, paragraphs 2.2| and 2.3 (below) shall be included as part of the Purchasing| Information Request (PIR) and the Purchase Order. In addition, it| shall be specified that the equipment shall conform to this| standard.2.2 Equipment shall comply with all Federal Comm
10、unications Commissionrequirements as outlined in Part 18 of the FCC Rules for Industrial,Scientific, and Medical Equipment.2.3 | The equipment manufacturer shall furnish proof of compliance (i.e.| verification and date of verification) with Part 18 of the FCC Rules| and Regulations. Such proof shall
11、 be submitted to the| requisitioning activity. In addition, the manufacturer shall affix| a permanent non-corrodible nameplate to the exterior of the control| enclosure door. This nameplate shall include a statement that “the| equipment has been tested to the verification requirements of the| FCC Ru
