Same reason your computer needs an FCC ID - high frequency electrical circuits cause RF radiation in frequency bands regulated by the FCC.

Taken from Don's post:

I have searched the FCC database and found no results when seeking to find a Grantee Code assigned to Nanotech. Neither has a filing been made for a Produce Code for the missing NP-1. Those two codes combine to form the FCC mark of the device. The following explains why this is significant for those attempting to sell Class B electronic devices in the US.

Quote:All electronics products sold in the United States are required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to obtain an FCC mark showing that the product complies with the following standards:
- Emissions (the effect on other electronic devices of energy radiated from the product)
- Immunity (the product's response to other electronic devices)

There are two categories that your product can fall into: Class A or Class B. A Class A device is a product marketed for commercial or industrial use and is not intended to to be used in a home. A Class B device is a product marketed for residential or home use. Class B requirements tend to be stricter than Class A requirements.

"The FCC Rules and Regulations, Title 47, Part 15, Subpart B regulates "unintentional radio-frequency devices". Products regulated include any unintentional radiator (device or system) that generates and uses timing pulses at a rate in excess of 9000 pulses (cycles) per second and uses digital techniques. This includes almost every product that employs a microprocessor including workstations, personal computers, point-of-sale terminals, printers, modems, and many electronic games. It is illegal to sell or advertise for sale any products regulated under Part 15, Subpart B until their radiated and conducted emissions have been measured and found to be in compliance.

You are free to search for yourself...

As an aside, my Iphone's FCC mark is found in the database and is registered to Apple Computer, even though the phone was made by Foxconn...
