Many radio applications, communications products and digital products to enter the U.S. market, are required to be recognized by the FCC, the FCC Commission to investigate and study the various stages of product safety in order to find a good way to solve the problem, but also the FCC also includes radio devices, aircraft testing, etc. Simply put, the FCC is a way for products to enter the U.S. market. Simply put, FCC certification is a mandatory certification for products entering the U.S. market.
Three forms of FCC certification
Self-verification
Manufacturers or importers to ensure that their products to carry out the necessary testing to confirm that the product complies with the relevant technical standards and to retain the test report, the FCC has the right to require the manufacturer to submit samples of the equipment or product testing data.
Devices eligible for self-certification include commercial computers, receivers for TV and FM, and industrial, scientific, and medical devices not intended for mass consumer use under FCC
Rule Part 18. Declaration of Conformity
The responsible party for the equipment (typically the manufacturer or importer) tests the product at an FCC-designated qualified testing facility to ensure that the equipment complies with the relevant
technical standards and retains the test report, and the FCC reserves the right to request the responsible party to submit samples of the equipment or test data on the product.
Devices to which the declaration of conformity applies include home computers and peripherals, residential broadcast receivers, ultra-regenerative receivers, other receivers in FCC
Rule Part 15, television interface devices, cable system termination devices, and industrial scientific and medical devices for mass consumer use in Part 18. The responsible party shall cause the device to bear the following markings:
ID Certification The FCC reviews samples (or photographs) and test data submitted by the applicant and authorizes an FCC
ID number for the device if it meets the requirements of the FCC rules.
Devices eligible for certification include low-power transmitters such as cordless telephones, remote controls for automatic doors, radio-controlled toys and security alarm systems, Part
15 devices that intentionally emit radio-frequency energy, Part
18 industrial, scientific, and medical devices for mass-consumer use, automated variable-frequency receivers and super-regenerative receivers. television interface equipment, and home computers and their peripherals.
The responsible party shall cause the equipment to bear the marking of the FCC
ID:
Note: If two or three types of approvals apply to a particular device, the responsible party chooses. How to choose the correct form of FCC certificate
Currently on the market third-party laboratory strength of good and bad, many home in the pursuit of low prices at the same time misleading customers, obviously need to do FCC ID certificate for customers to do the product is FCC
VOC form of the certificate, which will be the customer's shipment of the very great risk, so the correct judgment of their own products need to apply for which form of certificate is very important.
VOC
FCC certification standards The FCC's main standards are as follows, of which FCC PART 15 and PART 18 are the most widely used: FCC Part
15 regulates intentional, unintentional, or instantaneous transmitting devices that do not require a personal license for use. It includes technical specifications, administrative requirements, and other market access conditions.
The products are divided into four main categories: unintentional transmitting equipment, intentional transmitting equipment, personal communication equipment without a license, and national basic information equipment without a license.
FCC Part
18 regulates the amount of electromagnetic energy emitted by industrial, scientific, and medical devices (ISM) operating in a certain spectrum to avoid harmful interference with authorized wireless communication services.
Customer entrusted to apply for FCC steps
Customer entrusted to apply for
FCC certification of the specific steps are as follows:
1, the customer submits the application form (we provide blank application form);
2, the customer and our company signed the commissioning test contract;
3, the delivery of samples to the test and to prepare the electrical schematic diagram, external / internal photographs, oscillator circuit block diagrams. internal photos, oscillator circuit block diagram, user manual nameplate logo, working principle description, etc. (depending on the product);
4, after passing the test, if it is the FCC
VOC certification, our company directly issued a certificate of conformity and report, if it is the FCC DOC or ID certification, our company will submit the application information to the FCC authorized certification body;
5,
Enterprises can use the FCC logo on their products after obtaining FCC certification.
Note: FCC
ID certification needs to be submitted to the list of information and requirements are as follows:
1) FCC application form: the name of the applicant company, address, contact person information, product name and model number, the use of standards, and other information is required to be accurate;
2) FCC letter of authorization: to be signed by the contact person of the applicant company stamped and scanned into an electronic file;
3) FCC authorization letter: to sign and sealed and scanned into an electronic file;
3) FCC Confidentiality Letter: Confidentiality Letter is an agreement signed between the applicant company and the TCB agency on the confidentiality of product information, to be signed and stamped by the contact person of the applicant company and scanned into an electronic file;
4) Block Diagram: you need to draw all the crystals, as well as the frequency of crystals, and maintain consistency with the circuit diagram;
5) Circuit Diagram: it must be the same as inside the block diagram, the frequency, number and frequency of crystals, and the crystal. Frequency, number of crystals and crystal location;
6) circuit description: required for the English language, the product's function to achieve a clear description of the principle;
7) instruction manual: required to have the FCC warning;
8) labels and labeling location: labels should have the FCC
ID number and Statement, the labeling location is required to be prominent
8) Photographs of the internal appearance of the product: pictures are required to be clear and concise, and notes are added when necessary;
9) Test report: testing is required to be completed to assess the product in all aspects according to the terms of the standard;
