I am trying to convince my boss of the need for this.

I checked fcc web site but need a quick summary of what needs to be
done OR ELSE. Or else what?

I understand self-certification and Declaration of Conformity along
with details of radiated, conducted tests. I just need to put it into
language a business guy will understand.

Thanks!

I think that this:
http://www.pseinc.com/faq.htm
will be good reading for a start.

The FCC issues statistics on non-compliancies and fines etc. (sorry, too
lazy to find that URL).
The most important phrase from a business point of view is that the
production can be halted (this is also valid for safety). The fines are
ground noise compared to the costs of a production stop when it comes to
larger volumes. If your customer is a company - be prepared for another
lawsuit.

The FCC has levied fines starting at $10,000 USD for manufacturers who
violate the Parts 2 and 15 rules.

Suggest the number to your boss.

Hello DLR,

What is the device that you are concerned about? Is it an intentional
radiator like a wireless device or something that has a microprocessor
in it?

A company was just fined $1,000,000 for importing unintentional
radiators without appropriate FCC testing. For the actual part 15
rules, see http://www.hallikainen.com
