FCC 388624 D02 Pre-Approval Guidance List (PAG) — v18r08 vs v18r09 Comparison | ||||
| PAG Item | Change Type | v18r08 (Old) | v18r09 (New) | Key Change Notes |
| SUBTHZ | Added | Item did not exist in the PAG list. | Device above 95 GHz certifying under Part 15.258 (THZ), or Part 18 (8THZ), require a PAG. A checklist for this PAG item is provided in Appendix D – SUBTHZ. (Follow using KDB 800303 Sub-THz publication for measurement guidance.) | For products above 95 GHz, TCBs cannot issue certificates directly without FCC PAG. |
| OVER6G | Removed | RF exposure evaluation of portable transmitters operating at frequencies above 6 GHz required a PAG, except when related to a C2PC in U-NII Bands 5.925-7.125 GHz for an already certified module addressing RF exposure conditions for a specific host(s). | The item has been deleted. PAG is no longer mandatory. | OVER 6G devices with SAR/IPD testing no longer require PAG; TCBs can issue certificates directly. |
| UWB15F | Removed | Handheld UWB products complying with §15.519 required a PAG. | The item has been deleted. PAG is no longer mandatory. | Handheld UWB devices no longer require PAG; TCBs can issue certificates directly. |
| UN6GHZ | Scop Reduced | FCC 6 GHz (KDB 987594) PAG Requirements: • PAG Required: 6CD, 6SD, 6FC, 6FX, and VLP devices. • Exempt from PAG: 6ID, 6PP, 6XD, and RF exposure C2PC for certified modules in specific hosts. | The item's scope is further narrowed: PAG is now mandatory only for GVP devices. | Except for complex GVP devices, certification authority for most 6 GHz products has been fully delegated to TCBs (No PAG required). |
