Bluetooth speaker FCC ID certification

Bluetooth speakers are the application of Bluetooth technology to traditional digital and multimedia speakers, allowing users to avoid the entanglement of annoying wires and listen to music in various ways. Since the advent of Bluetooth speakers, they have attracted widespread attention from users of mobile phones and tablets with the development of smart terminals. Bluetooth technology (Bluetooth) makes it possible for speakers to be wireless.

Bluetooth speakers refer to audio equipment with built-in Bluetooth chips that replace traditional wire connections with Bluetooth connections. They are connected to Bluetooth playback devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and notebooks to achieve convenience and speed.

Bluetooth speakers are mainly portable speakers, and their appearance is generally small and portable. Bluetooth speaker technology has also gradually been valued and accepted by consumers due to its convenience. Most common Bluetooth speakers on the market are mono speakers (single speaker unit), and some multi-channel speakers with excellent sound quality (two or more speaker units) have also emerged.

1. What is FCC certification?

FCC stands for Federal Communications Commission. It is a federal agency of the United States responsible for managing the radio spectrum in the United States. The Federal Communications Commission prevents "radio and broadcast pollution" by enforcing broadcast decent standards and by regulating electromagnetic noise sources.

Electrical and electronic products may generate radio spectrum noise. When the current moves inside the electrical product, the current will generate electromagnetic field waves that will travel through space. These waves may affect other currents in other products and cause unnecessary interference.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is responsible for developing, implementing and applying the conventions established in communications by the 1934 law and the 1996 Telecommunications Act. The Federal Communications Commission is a federal agency of the United States that is responsible for managing all forms of telecommunications in the United States, including radio, television, digital cameras, Bluetooth, wireless devices and various radio frequency electronic products.

2. FCC Certification Process

1. Declaration of Conformity

The party responsible for the product (manufacturer or importer) will test the product at a qualified testing agency approved by the FCC and make a test report. If the product meets the FCC standards, the corresponding label will be affixed to the product, and the relevant compliance with FCC standards will be stated in the user manual, and the test report will be retained for FCC request.

2. Apply for ID

First apply for an FRN to fill in other forms. If the applicant is applying for an FCC ID for the first time, you need to apply for a Grantee Code. While waiting for the FCC to approve the Grantee Code to be distributed to the applicant, the applicant should hurry up to test the device. When all the materials required by the FCC are prepared and the test report has been completed, the FCC should have approved the Grantee Code. The applicant uses this code, the test report and the required materials to complete the FCC Form 731 and Form 159 online. After the FCC receives Form 159 and the remittance, it will begin to accept the certification application. The average time for the FCC to accept the ID application is 60 days. At the end of the acceptance, FCC will send the Original Grant of FCC ID to the applicant. After the applicant obtains the certificate, he can sell or export the corresponding product.

III. FCC Prototype

1. Provide at least one qualified prototype for each model applied for certification. (Two or more are recommended)

2. The provided prototype must be guaranteed to be a formal qualified prototype, and its internal electrical structure and appearance must be consistent with the batch prototypes to be exported later

3. The trademark model on the prototype must be clear and reliable

IV. FCC Application Materials

The full name and detailed contact address of the manufacturer and applicant of the product applying for certification.

A copy of the installation and use manual of the certified product to be provided to the user. (If the product does not have a user manual yet, a draft copy of the relevant content can be provided)

Product electrical schematic diagram and working principle description. (If the product has a ground or antenna, it should be described)

The table of the operating oscillation frequency of the relevant product should list the signal propagation path and the corresponding oscillation frequency.

Some other product features that need to be explained.

Remarks:

1. The relevant documents and materials must be in both Chinese and English.

2. In order to shorten the certification cycle, the information provided is in the form of electronic documents.

3. During the certification process, for some special circumstances, the company may be required to submit other additional relevant information.
