FCC主席布伦丹·卡尔如此解释新规出台的理由：受制于外国对手的"不可靠实验室"可能会批准不安全 的设备进入美国市场。 按照美国政府规定，所有进口到美国的具有无线电发射功能的电子产品，在上市或进口前都必须在获得 FCC许可的实验室通过合规性测试。据统计，FCC此前授权175家中国实验室等认证机构开展测试，数 量超过美国本土，美国市场上约75%的电子产品在中国测试认证。 7∶175，看起来此次被撤销许可的中国实验室只占总数的一小部分。但值得注意的是，FCC正在就将撤 销范围扩大到中国等"外国敌对国家"管辖范围内的任何实体征求意见。在不久的将来，所有中国实验室 获得的FCC许可很可能会被全部撤销。 日前，美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）宣布，已经启动程序撤销7家中国实验室对进入美国市场电子产品 的测试认证许可，另有4家中国实验室的许可已经到期且不再续签。此举依据为今年5月FCC投票通过的 一项新规：禁止与美国政府"黑名单"有关的中国实验室测试在美国使用的手机、电脑等电子产品。 也就是说，在FCC摆上台面的安全借口下，可能还藏着破坏中国电信制造业的集群效应和战略优势、促 进相关产业回流美国的深层目的。 目的未必能实现，但 ...
