Compliance testing

mirith:
Off hand question, if you use an open source design in your system than has been certified by the FCC (but not by your company), does the certification carry over? I assume not, since that would make less money, though I guess it depends on the licensing arrangement.

No
Its not the design thats tested but the finished article.
I had hoped that by buying already certified modules and assembling them i could avoid this.
Apparently not.
