Chairman Carr Announces Action Against Test Lab Responsible for False Results

Since 2025, the Federal Communications Commission has been taking concrete steps to protect America’s communications networks by kicking ‘bad labs’ out of the FCC’s equipment authorization system. Before any electronic device can be marketed or sold in the U.S., it must be tested at a lab recognized by the FCC. But many of those labs could present national security risks or otherwise fail to conduct trustworthy testing. That is why the FCC has been increasing its scrutiny of all labs. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr announced that the Office of Engineering and Technology instituted proceedings to withdraw recognition from a test lab that apparently willfully and repeatedly provided false equipment test results in connection with equipment authorization applications. Specifically, SLG-CPC Test Laboratory Co., Ltd. based in Dongguan, China, admitted to having submitted numerous test reports with data copied-and-pasted from other reports.
