The world's most influential is the Federal Communications Commission's controversial FCC evaluation process, which determines who can and cannot be licensed to broadcast on television or radio, and whether existing licenses can be renewed.
The evaluation criteria are based on the public interest, convenience and necessity of serving the public, depending on the attributes of the radio or television station and the impact of the programming mix, including the needs of local, regional and minority populations.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is an independent agency of the U.S. government, directly responsible to Congress.The FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio broadcasting, television, telecommunications, satellites, and cable. It involves more than 50 U.S. states, Columbia, and U.S. territories. To ensure the safety of radio and wire communications products related to life and property, the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) is responsible for the Commission's technical support, as well as for equipment approvals. Many radio applications, communications products, and digital products require FCC approval to enter the U.S. market, and the FCC investigates and examines all phases of product safety to find the best way to resolve problems, as well as testing of radio devices, aircraft, and more.
According to the relevant part of the U.S. Federal Communications Regulations (CFR Part 47), all electronic products entering the U.S. need to be certified for electromagnetic compatibility (except for those products specifically provided for in the relevant articles), of which there are three common types of certification: Certification, DoC and Verification. The certification methods and procedures of these three products have greater differences, different products can choose the certification method in the FCC has relevant provisions. The degree of strictness of the certification decreases. For these three types of certification, the FCC Commission also has relevant requirements for each laboratory.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ---- regulates the importation and use of radio frequency devices, including computers, facsimile machines, electronic devices, radio receiving and transmitting equipment, radio-controlled toys, telephones, personal computers, and other products that may be harmful to personal safety. These products must be tested and approved by a government-authorized laboratory in accordance with FCC technical standards if they are to be exported to the United States.

Certification method: the product needs to be approved by the FCC test room test is completed, after obtaining the test report, the organization of the product's technical data
For the first time to apply for FCC CERTIFICATION, customers must first apply to the FCC for a number - GRANTEE CODE. After the product passes the test and certification, the FCC ID number will be marked on the product and it can be sold.
Certification Procedures
*Declaration of Conformity: The party responsible for the product (manufacturer or importer) will have the product tested by a qualified testing organization designated by the FCC, and will make a test report. If the product complies with the FCC standards, it will be affixed with the appropriate label on the product and declared to comply with the provisions of the FCC standards in the user's manual, and will retain the test report in case the FCC requests for it. The test report will be retained for the FCC's request.
*Applying for an ID: The process of applying for an FCC ID can all be found at www.fcc.gov上完成. First apply for an FRN, which is used to fill out other forms. If this is the applicant's first time applying for an FCC ID, they will need to apply for a permanent Grantee Code. While waiting for the FCC to approve the distribution of the Grantee
Code to the applicant, the applicant should take the time to have the device tested. The FCC should have approved the Grantee Code by the time all of the FCC-required materials have been prepared and the test report has been completed, and the applicant completes FCC Form 731 and Form 159 online with the Code, test report, and required materials. The FCC will begin accepting applications for certification upon receipt of Form 159 and remittance of funds. The average time for the FCC to process ID applications is 60 days. At the end of the processing, the FCC sends the applicant an Original Grant for the FCC ID. Once the applicant receives the certificate, he or she can sell or export the appropriate products.
1. The company submits the basic description and technical conditions of the product.
2. For the product conditions of the certification offer, and put forward the test plan (which contains the test items, the test to determine the conditions of eligibility, the general cycle of testing, etc.).
3. After the enterprise approved the test plan and test costs, and 50% of the test costs paid, the certification process officially started.
4. The test is started after receiving the samples and related information.
5. After the test is completed, the test report is prepared. The relevant information is also reviewed.
6. After the test and data are completed and confirmed to be in order, we will issue the relevant certification.
7. For some certificates that must be issued by the certification committee, we will send the relevant information to the committee of the relevant country and obtain the corresponding certification from the committee.
The information to be submitted for FCC certification
1. The full name and detailed contact address of the manufacturer of the product applying for certification and the party applying for certification.
2. A copy of the installation and use manual of the certified product that will be provided to the user. (If the product does not already have a user's manual, a draft copy of the relevant contents can be provided.)
3. Electrical schematic diagram of the product and description of the operating principle. (If the product has a ground or an antenna, it should be described.)

6. Remarks
The related documents should be in both English and Chinese.
In order to shorten the certification period, it is better to provide the information in the form of electronic documents.
During the certification process, for some special cases, companies may be required to submit additional information.
Certification test content
In order to ensure the consistency and compatibility of the cell phone terminals and the network put on the market, to ensure that the terminal performance is excellent, the function is normal, and can meet the requirements of consumers, countries will require that the terminal before entering the market, must be subject to a number of equipment certification tests. Generally speaking, WCDMA terminal equipment certification test is divided into two kinds: one is mandatory certification, i.e., government-level (required by national laws) certification: products are required to meet the performance indicators related to personal safety, such as safety, EMC, SAR and other indicators; the other is the operator's access to the certification, in addition to meet the certification required by national laws, the terminal also needs to meet the requirements of a variety of performance indicators, such as interface protocols, call performance, call performance, and the ability to meet the requirements of consumers. In addition to meeting the certification required by national laws, terminals also need to meet the requirements of various performance indexes, such as interface protocols, call performance, RF indexes, compatibility, and so on. The access of terminals in China is organized and managed by the government. In foreign countries, it is usually the operators who make specific requirements for the access of terminals, so the access of terminals is closely related to the operators. For WCDMA terminals, certification tests (mandatory and non-mandatory tests) mainly include the following aspects.
1. Safety & Health (safety and health requirements). Safety: Safety refers to product safety regulations, is the study of the product on the harm that may be caused by people and protective measures to regulate the form of regulations to regulate people's production and life, to ensure safety, with mandatory; health: that is, usually referred to as SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), that is, the requirements of the special absorption rate.
2. EMC: EMC refers to the equipment, sub-systems, systems in the **** the same electromagnetic environment can be together to perform their respective functions **** the state of existence. In other words, it is not because of the electromagnetic environment around the performance degradation, loss of function or damage, and will not produce excessive electromagnetic energy in the surrounding environment, so as to affect the normal operation of the surrounding equipment.
3. Spectrum: Each country/region has its own frequency planning for that country/region, and product sales to these countries/regions must meet the relevant regulations and technical specifications.
4. Consistency and compatibility requirements: In order to ensure the compatibility of the product in different operating networks, to ensure the universality of the product, usually based on the requirements of the GCF, PTCRB and other organizations for testing.
As each country's regulatory mechanism, their conformity assessment procedures are based on different technical standards or technical regulations, so the scope of certification testing requirements for 3G terminals are not the same.
