Correct, there are technical standards which they may or may not meet (I've measured some) but there is no such thing as Part 97 type acceptance.Pretty sure that there is no requirement for FCC Part 97 acceptance or certification of VHF/UHF transmitters in the Amateur Service.
The UV-5X Can be used to receive FRS, GMRS, and MURS frequencies without issue. Transmitting is not allowed without the proper certification/acceptance.
