Certification Introduction

FCC stands for Federal Communications Commission, which is the Federal Communications Commission in Chinese. It was established by COMMUNICATIONACT in 1934 and is an independent agency of the US government, directly responsible to Congress. FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio broadcasting, television, telecommunications, satellites and cables. Involving more than 50 states, Columbia and the United States, the Engineering and Technology Department of FCC is responsible for the technical support of the Commission and is also responsible for equipment approval. Many radio application products, communication products and digital products require FCC approval to enter the US market.

FCC certification type

FCC certification is a mandatory certification under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission of the United States, which is used to ensure the safety and compliance of electronic products. FCC has two certification modes for different products, namely: FCC SDoC certification for ordinary products and FCC ID certification for wireless products.

FCC ID certification is mainly for products with wireless transmission functions, such as Bluetooth headsets, Bluetooth speakers, wireless routers, mobile phones, tablets and other wireless devices. These products need to pass strict third-party testing and obtain an independent FCC ID number before they can be put on the market.

FCC SDoC certification has a wider scope of application, including all non-wireless electronic products, such as power adapters, desktop computers, monitors, printers, lighting equipment, etc. Products need to pass strict third-party testing and reports, and then self-declare that the products comply with FCC regulations.

Common test standards for wireless communication equipment to apply for FCC certification

1. Wi-Fi equipment: Comply with FCC Part 15C standard.

2. Bluetooth equipment: Comply with FCC Part 15C standard.

3. Radio walkie-talkies: Comply with FCC Part 90 standard.

4. Wireless microphones: Comply with FCC Part 15C or FCC Part 74 standards.

Common test standards for IT/AV equipment to apply for FCC certification

In IT equipment, whether it is computer and computer peripheral products; data storage equipment products; or network equipment products, if you want to successfully apply for FCC certification, you must comply with FCC Part 15B standard. This standard not only ensures that the device does not interfere with other devices during operation, but also ensures its stability and security in data transmission and network connection.

Common test standards for other electronic products applying for FCC certification

1. Household appliances: comply with FCC Part 15B standard or FCC Part 18 standard.

2. Power adapter: comply with FCC Part 15B standard.

3. Battery charger: comply with FCC Part 15B standard.

FCC certification application process

1. After the enterprise determines the demand, fill in the test entrustment application form.

2. Sign a contract with the testing and certification agency and pay the commission fee.

3. The company mails samples to the certification agency, and the laboratory receives the samples and opens a case.

4. The laboratory tests the product and issues a true test report to the customer for confirmation;

5. After confirmation, if it is FCC SDoC certification, the certification agency directly issues a certificate and report. If it is FCC ID certification, the certification agency will submit the application materials to the FCC authorized certification agency.

6. After the company obtains FCC certification, it can use the FCC logo on the product.
