FCC is the abbreviation of the Federal Communication Commission of the United States. It was established in 1934 is directly responsible to Congress. It mainly manages controls radio communications. It is a government agency has law enforcement powers. In order to fulfill the duties entrusted by the Communications Law, various treaties international regulations, to promote more effective use of spectrum resources, the Federal Communications Commission of the United States has established technical stards for radio frequency equipment.
 

FCC certification is a compulsory EMC certification in the United States, mainly for electronic electrical products from 9KHz-3000GHz. The content involves radio, communication other aspects, especially the radio interference problems of wireless communication equipment systems, including radio interference limits measurements Methods, certification system organization management system, etc.

Products regulated by the FCC, such as personal computers, CD players, photocopiers, radios, fax machines, video game consoles, electronic toys, televisions, microwave ovens other products. These products are divided into two categories: CLASS A CLASS B according to their use. Class A is products for commercial or industrial use, Class B is products for household use. The FCC has stricter regulatory requirements for Class B products limits Low Class A. For most electrical electronic products, the main stards are FCC Part 15 FCC Part 18.
 

FCC certification method

FCC has three certification mos for different products: Verification, Declaration of Conity (DoC) Certification. Different certification mos require testing laboratories to obtain FCC accreditation, there are different requirements for application, testing declaration.

　1. Verification: It means self-verification. Manufacturers or importers ensure that their products have undergone the necessary tests to confirm that the products meet relevant technical stards retain test reports. The testing laboratory FCC LISTEE, all accredited venues are Published on the official website. FCC has the right to require manufacturers to submit equipment samples or product testing data. Devices suitable for self-verification include commercial computers, TV FM receivers, FCC Rule Part 18 industrial, scientific, medical equipment used by non-mass consumers.

　2, Declaration of Conity (DoC): the declaration of conity, the equipment responsible party (generally the manufacturer or importer) tests the product at the FCC-designated conity testing agency to ensure that the equipment meets the relevant technical stards Keep the test report, the issuing agency must have NVLAP/A2LA authorization. FCC has the right to require the responsible party to submit equipment samples or product testing data. The equipment applicable to the declaration of conity includes home computers peripherals, civil broadcast receivers, super-regenerative receivers, other receivers of FCC Rule Part 15, TV interface equipment, cable system terminal equipment Part 18 consumer use Industrial, scientific research medical equipment.

　3. Certification: ID certification. Certification is the process by which the FCC signs equipment approval based on application test data. The FCC reviews the samples (or photos) test data submitted by the applicant, if it meets the requirements of the FCC rules, it will authorize an FCC ID number for the device. Applicable equipment for certification includes low-power transmitters such as cordless phones, remote controls for automatic doors, radio-controlled toys, security alarm systems, Part 15 devices that intentionally emit radio frequency energy, Part 18 industries that are used by mass consumers. Scientific research medical equipment, automatic frequency conversion receivers super-regenerative receivers, TV interface equipment, home computers their peripherals. The responsible party should make the FCC ID mark on the device.

FCC certification stards

The main FCC stards are as follows, among which FCC PART 15 PART 18 are the most wiy used:

The scope of FCC stards

FCC PART15 C/E/F Intentional Radiation Device Test

FCC PART 18 Industrial, scientific medical equipment

FCC PART 22 Public Mobile Communication Service

FCC PART 24 Personal Communication Service

FCC PART 25 Satellite Communication Service

FCC PART 27 other FCC wireless communication services

FCC PART 68 Telecom Terminal Equipment

FCC Part 15 regulates intentional, unintentional, or transient transmission equipment that does not require a personal license in use. It includes technical specifications, administrative requirements, other market access conditions.

Products are mainly divided into four categories: unintentional launching equipment, intentional launching equipment, personal communication equipment that does not require a license, basic ination equipment for countries that do not require a license.

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

Steps to apply for FCC entrusted by clients

The specific steps for the client to apply for FCC certification are as follows:

1. The customer submits an application (our company provides a blank application );

2. The customer signs an entrusted inspection contract with our company;

3. Send samples for testing, prepare electrical schematic diagrams, external/internal photos, oscillator circuit block diagrams, user manual nameplate identification, working principle deions, etc. (depending on the product);

4. After passing the test, if it is FCC VOC certification, our company will directly issue a certificate report. If it is FCC DOC or ID certification, our company will submit the application materials to the FCC authorized certification agency;

5. After the enterprise obtains FCC certification, it can use the FCC mark on the product
 

Note: The list of materials requirements for FCC ID certification are as follows:

1) FCC application : the application company name, address, contact ination, product name mo, usage stards other ination are required to be accurate;

2) FCC authorization letter: It must be signed stamped by the contact person of the applying company scanned into an electronic file;

3) FCC confidentiality letter: The confidentiality letter is an agreement signed by the applicant company the TCB organization on the confidentiality of product ination, which must be signed stamped by the contact person of the applicant company scanned into an electronic file;

4) Block diagram: all crystal oscillators crystal oscillator frequencies need to be drawn kept consistent with the circuit diagram;

5) Circuit diagram: It must be consistent with the crystal frequency, the number of crystals the position of the crystal in the block diagram;

6) Line deion: It is required to be in English, clearly describe the functional realization principle of the product;

7) Instructions for use: FCC warnings are required;

8) Tag tag location: The tag must have an FCC ID number Statement, the location of the tag must be significant;

8) Appearance photos inside the product: the pictures are required to be clear clear, remarks should be added if necessary;

9) Test report: The test is required to be completed, the product is evaluated in an all-round way according to the stard terms;
