1. What is FCC certification
FCC stands for Federal Communications Commission. It is an agency of the US federal government responsible for managing the US radio spectrum. The Federal Communications Commission implements decent standards for broadcasting and regulates electromagnetic noise sources to prevent "radio and broadcast pollution."
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 pass through the space. These waves may affect other currents in other products and cause unnecessary interference.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States is responsible for the formulation, implementation and application of the 1934 law and the 1996 Telecommunications Act in communications. The United States Federal Communications Commission is a United States federal government agency designed to manage all forms of telecommunications; the United States, including Radio, TV, digital camera, Bluetooth, wireless equipment and various radio frequency electronic products.
Two, three common certification modes of FCC certification
FCC certification regulations stipulate that different certification modes, labels and warnings have different requirements. This requires manufacturers to determine which certification mode their products belong to before making FCC labels. FCC-related regulatory documents have different There are clear regulations on the certification modes that can be selected for the products. The three certification modes are different in strictness. Relatively speaking, the strictness of the first three modes is increasing, that is, the certification (acquiring FCC ID) mode is the most stringent. There are relatively many difficulties in certification and testing technologies.
(1) Self-verification (Verification) mode
This is a necessary test performed by the manufacturer or importer to ensure that its products are self-certified. The equipment suitable for self-verification includes: commercial computers, receivers of IV and FM, and FCC Rule Part 18 industrial, non-mass consumers Scientific research and medical equipment.
(2) DOC: Declaration of Confor-mity mode
The party responsible for the equipment (generally the manufacturer or importer) must test the product in a qualified organization designated by the FCC, and need to affix the corresponding label on the product, make a statement in the user manual, and keep the report for inspection;
The equipment suitable for this method includes: home computers and peripherals, civil broadcast receivers, other receivers of FCC Rule Part 15, cable system terminal equipment and industries used by mass consumers in Part 18, as well as those suitable for Verification Products can also use DOC certification.
(3) Authentication Certificate (obtain ID) mode
The FCC-authorized certification body reviews the samples (or photos) and test data submitted by the applicant, and if it meets the requirements of the regulations, authorizes an FCC ID number for the device; the equipment suitable for this method includes: low-level transmitters such as Cordless phones, radio remote control toys and security alarm systems, automatic frequency conversion receivers, etc. The equipment responsible party should ensure that the corresponding equipment obtains an ID number authorized by the FCC
3. What products need FCC certification?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-regulates the import and use of radio frequency devices, including computers, fax machines, electronic devices, radio receiving and transmission equipment, radio remote control toys, telephones, personal computers, and other products that may harm personal safety. If these products want to be exported to the United States, they must comply with FCC standards, the FCC license.
The FCC divides the regulated products into two categories: A and B according to their usage conditions: Category A is products for commercial or industrial purposes, and Category B is products for household purposes. The FCC has stricter regulations on Category B products; this This is because home users generally lack the professional skills training of professional and technical personnel; and the electrical safety environment of the home is not as favorable as the office environment. Therefore, the safety requirements for products used by home users are more stringent than those used in commercial industrial environments.
Fourth, why do you need FCC certification?
FCC certification is a passport for products to enter the American market. Products can only be sold in the American market if they meet the corresponding FCC certification and affix the corresponding logo; for consumers, products with logos give them a high degree of security , They trust and are only willing to buy products with safety certification marks.
