Is DTM sufficient for FCC testing?

Hi!

We're working on a BLE product which is intended for use in the US. This product uses an nRF52833 SOC, with some external components on a PCB we've designed with a printed F antenna.

We're in the process of preparing for the FCC testing, and as such we've contacted a testing lab which requested we supply them with the following:

A. Continuous emission mode in low, middle and high channels (continuous transmission mode
signals)
B. Continuous receiving mode status in low, medium and high channels. (Example: product
bands are 2.405 MHz to 2.475 MHz, provided the test model of low, medium and high channel
of 2.405 MHz, 2.440 MHz, 2.475 MHz)
If you need other accessories, software assisted test mode, please provide parts, software and
instructions for use.
If you need to set the test mode sample using a computer, make sure that when the setup is
separated from the computer, the test mode sample can still be maintained in the settled test
mode.
Remarks: The continuous transmission is best to keep launching or with launch spacing less
than one second

Now, these points seem to us, to be covered in the DTM example, and DTM applet. But to be sure I would appriciate it if anyone who has any experience with FCC certification, or understand the DTM functionality verifies that indeed, these points are covered in the DTM.
Could anyone comment on this?

Thanks
