(this isn't telecom, but it _is_ FCC-related)

Can anyone tell me whether PCs MUST be FCC certified, or whether it's
optional?  I was talking to one company who said that certification was
pending for their machine, and that they were selling lots of them.  I thought
that it had to be certified before it could be sold.  Also, which class
of certification (A or B) is more restrictive?  (A co-worker and I disagree.)
What trouble could I get into if I run an uncertified or incorrect-class
machine at home?    Thanks.
