What it does OET finds that SLG-CPC reused identical test data in reports for wholly different products and tentatively identifies 33 incorrect or falsified test reports across 14 groupings of FCC IDs. The Order alleges violations of the certification requirement in 47 CFR § 2.911(e) and the truthfulness requirements in 47 CFR § 1.17. It directs SLG-CPC to show why its FCC recognition should not be withdrawn and requires a written response, in English with supporting business documents, translations, and sworn declarations.

Who it affects The proceeding directly affects SLG-CPC, a China-based laboratory recognized by the FCC in 2021 and accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation. It also bears on applicants whose equipment-authorization submissions relied on SLG-CPC reports, including applications associated with the FCC IDs listed in the Order.

Why it matters Recognition as an FCC test laboratory depends on competence, integrity, trustworthiness, and accurate technical data. The proceeding illustrates the FCC’s enforcement of laboratory-certification rules and may lead to withdrawal of SLG-CPC’s authority to support equipment-authorization applications.
