FCC compliance and equipment-authorization support for the U.S. market.
Products with radio-frequency functions can fall under different FCC equipment-authorization routes. The product's RF functions and equipment classification should be reviewed before testing or certification scope is ordered.
The relevant authorization procedure depends on the equipment type and applicable FCC rules. “FCC certification” is only one possible route, so the product should be classified before provider work begins.
Send the device and RF functions. We coordinate the next step.
Model, wireless technologies, intended use, existing test evidence and U.S. destination are enough to start the route review.
RF functions
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular and other intentional or unintentional RF functions can change the scope.
Equipment classification
The product category and FCC rule parts affect the authorization route.
Existing evidence
Previous reports, module approvals, technical documentation and labeling information are reviewed first.
Provider scope
Where testing or certification-provider involvement is needed, the relevant independent provider scope is coordinated.
Does every electronic product need FCC Certification?
No. The applicable authorization route depends on the device and its RF characteristics.
Can an approved wireless module reduce work?
It can be relevant, but final scope depends on the host product, integration and applicable conditions.
What information should I send?
Product/model, RF functions, intended use, U.S. destination and any available test reports, module information or technical documents.
