The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has taken action to withdraw the recognition of an authorized testing laboratory found to have filed false testing information in support of an equipment authorization application.
According to the FCC, the testing lab, SLG-CPC Test Laboratory, based in Dongguan, China, has “admitted to submitting numerous test reports with data copied and pasted from other reports.”
The FCC’s action to withdraw SLG-CPC’s test lab authorization follows an investigation that identified 33 separate FCC-authorized identifications that were based on identical testing reports prepared by the laboratory. When SLG-CPC was notified of the discovery, the laboratory blamed the falsified reports on “inadequate, non-systematic review procedures carried out by the review staff.”
The pending withdrawal of SLG-CPC’s authorization is just one of 23 separate withdrawals o testing lab authorization under the Commission’s “Bad Labs” initiative, which prohibits the recognition of testing laboratories owned or subject to the direction of a foreign adversary. The initiative is part of the FCC’s overall effort to secure and protect U.S.-based communications networks and infrastructure.
