Certification Introduction:

On March 8 this year, the FCC updated Part 15E, adding ultra-low power devices operating in the 5.925 ~ 6.425 GHz (UNII-5) and 6.525 ~ 6.875 GHz (UNII-7) frequency bands.

Compared with before the update, the updated FCC Part 15E has the following key updates:

1. The maximum e.i.r.p. of VLP equipment is 14 dBm, and the maximum PSD is −5 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p.;

2. VLP equipment can operate indoors and outdoors, but fixed outdoor scenarios, oil platforms, land vehicles, ships and drones are prohibited;

3. VLP equipment must first operate above the 6105 MHz frequency;

4.VLP equipment should adopt the transmit power control (TPC) mechanism.

The full name of FCC is Federal Communications Commission, and Chinese is the Federal Communications Commission of the United States. Established in 1934 by COMMUNICATIONACT, it is an independent agency of the U.S. government and is directly responsible to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio broadcasts, television, telecommunications, satellites and cables. Involving more than 50 states in the United States, Colombia and the United States, in order to ensure the safety of radio and wire communication products related to life and property, the FCC's Engineering and Technology Department is responsible for the technical support of the committee and is also responsible for equipment approval matters. Many radio application products, communication products and digital products require FCC approval to enter the US market.

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) merged DoC and Verification into SDoC (Supplier's Declaration of Conformity) on November 2, 2017. SDoC certification will replace the FCC Verification and DoC certification procedures. All equipment applicable to the FCC Verification and DoC certification procedures will SDoC certification procedures can be adopted.

FCC divides the types of electronic products into two different certification methods: FCC SDoC and FCC ID (Certification). The former is suitable for ordinary products without wireless functions, and the latter is suitable for products with wireless functions.

As follows, among which FCC PART 15 and PART 18 are the most widely used:

FCC standard scope of application

FCC PART15 C/E/F Intentional radiating device testing

FCC PART 18 Industrial, Scientific and Medical Equipment

FCC PART 22 Public Mobile Communications Services

FCC PART 24 Personal Communications Services

FCC PART 25 Satellite Communications Services

FCC PART 27 Other FCC Wireless Communications Services

FCC PART 68 Telecommunications Terminal Equipment

FCC Part 15 regulates intentional, unintentional or transient emission devices that do not require a personal license for use. It includes technical specifications, administrative requirements and other market access conditions. Products are mainly divided into four categories: unintentional transmitting equipment, intentional transmitting equipment, personal communication equipment that does not require a license, and basic information equipment in countries that do not require a license.

FCC Part 18 regulates the electromagnetic energy emitted by industrial, scientific, and medical equipment (ISM) operating in certain frequency spectrum to avoid harmful interference to authorized wireless communication services.
