To enroll in the program, contact the SCBA office at 803-732-1186 or scba@scba.net.

SCBA will forward a contract with an estimated inspection date.

Stations must return the signed contract with payment prior to the inspection.
Upon successful completion of the inspection, stations are issued a certificate that is posted in the station and the FCC is notified of the certification.

If the station does not pass inspection, a grace period of 150 days from the date on the contract is provided to allow the station to make necessary corrections to successfully complete the inspection.

Stations may choose to notify the FCC when they enroll in the program, and immediately begin the immunity protection. Or they may choose not to notify the FCC of their enrollment, in which case the station has no protection from inspection.

All stations should take advantage of this valuable service. Be certain your station is in compliance and immune from routine FCC inspection.
If your station currently holds an ABIP certificate, check the renewal date and schedule your next inspection well in advance to avoid any lapse in immunity.
