FCC certification

FCC stands for Federal Communications Commission, which is the Federal Communications Commission in Chinese. It was established in 1934 and is an independent agency of the US government, directly responsible to Congress.

According to the provisions of the US Federal Regulations (CFR 47), most electronic products entering the US market need to be FCC certified to ensure their compliance in wireless communications.

FCC certification is a mandatory requirement that applies to the vast majority of electronic devices, including radio equipment, communication equipment and other products using wireless technology. However, there are some specific products or situations that may be exempted and do not require FCC certification.

This certification is used to ensure that the product complies with US regulations and standards in terms of electromagnetic compatibility, wireless spectrum use and wireless communication performance to ensure public safety and the effective operation of wireless communications.

What products are applicable to FCC certification?
FCC certification applies to all radio equipment and other electronic products sold or supplied to the US market.

In other words, if the device generates electromagnetic radiation and has electronic products that transmit and receive radio, FCC certification is required.

The details are as follows:

● Radio transmission equipment: such as mobile phones, WiFi devices, Bluetooth devices, radio transceivers, etc.;

● Wired telecommunications equipment: such as telephones, modems, fax machines, telephone line protectors, etc.;

● Digital equipment: such as computers, servers, printers, copiers, scanners, etc.;

● Power equipment: such as power adapters, power tools, household appliances, etc.;

● Other electronic products: such as vehicle-mounted electronic equipment, radar equipment, medical equipment, etc.;

Currently, FCC has two types of certification. Sellers must first distinguish whether the product is FCC-SDoC or FCC-ID. Merchants must follow the platform's requirements when selling goods and provide accurate and complete qualification documents to ensure that the goods are compliant and meet market access requirements.
1. Ordinary products-FCC-SDoC
Applicable to ordinary electronic products without wireless transmission function, such as electronic scales, humidifiers, sweepers, electric fans, etc. If the above products do not have wireless functions.

2. Wireless Products—FCC-ID
Specially for wireless communication devices such as mobile phones, wireless keyboards, wireless mice, wireless remote controls, Bluetooth speakers, tablets and other products.

How to comply with FCC certification?
FCC certification is a certification that ensures that products comply with US regulations and standards in terms of radio frequency and electromagnetic compatibility. Merchants need to conduct relevant tests on their products and comply with the FCC's application procedures and identification requirements, and continue to pay attention to the latest requirements as regulations are updated and changed.

1. Physical image label requirements

1. FCC ID logo
The FCC requires all manufacturers of products that emit radio frequency energy (RF) to place a certification logo (FCC ID) on their devices. The FCC ID can be affixed to the product, etched on the outside of the product, or displayed electronically. By law, the FCC ID of any product must be clearly visible and in a font that can be read without magnification. An example is as follows: FCC ID: XXXXXXXXX
