FCC Vote on "Bad Labs" ban proposal


FCC - From the Office of Commissioner Brendan Carr related to the proposal "Promoting the Integrity and Security of Telecommunications Certification Bodies, Measurement Facilities, and the Equipment Authorization Program" set to be voted on at the FCC's May 2024 Open Meeting.

Under the proposal "the FCC would ensure that the hundreds of labs and certification bodies that review and approve electronic devices for use in the U.S. are trustworthy actors that do not present national security risks, including the risk that they would do the bidding of a foreign adversary."

A sea change with interesting and complex implications for supply chains, not just national security. The volume of testing that goes through these "Bad Labs" (I think that is a terrible moniker...there are many "Good Labs" and the rhetoric doesn't help the situation).
