Certification Introduction

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

FCC certification

Type of certification

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

FCC is divided into two different certification methods for the types of electronic products: 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.

FCC common standards

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

FCC standard scope of application

FCC PART15 C/E/F Intentional Radiation Device Test

FCC PART 18 Industrial, scientific and 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 Telecommunications Terminal Equipment

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

FCC Part 18 regulates the electromagnetic energy emitted by industrial, scientific, and medical equipment (ISM) operating on a certain frequency spectrum, so as to
avoid harmful interference to authorized wireless communication services caused by the above-mentioned equipment.

application process

1. The customer submits the application form to the testing agency;

2. The customer prepares samples for testing (wireless products require a fixed-frequency machine) and provides product information (see data requirements);

3. The testing agency issues a draft report, the client confirms, and the official report is issued;

4. If it is FCC sDoC, the project is completed; if it is to apply for FCC ID, submit the report and technical information to TCB;

5. After the TCB audit is completed, the FCC ID certificate is issued, and the testing agency sends a formal report and FCC ID certificate;

6. After the enterprise obtains the FCC certification, it can use the FCC mark and related Statement on the product;

Note: Manufacturers who apply for FCC ID certification for the first time need to register FCC-FRN with FCC to establish an application company file.
The certificate issued after the completion of the TCB audit will have an FCC ID number. Usually, the FCC ID is composed of "Grantee code"+ "Product code
(Product code)" composition.

Manufacturer code: a three-digit number or capital letter, issued directly by the FCC;

Product code: It is composed of numbers, letters, and "-", but two or more consecutive "-" cannot be used in it, and "-" cannot be used in the first and last digits.
The maximum number of digits in this code is 14 The number can be customized by the customer.
