The export of electronic and electrical products to the United States has always been the top priority, and the export to the United States and the listing of Amazon, eBay, Shein, Titok, Temu platforms need to apply for FCC certification.
1. What isfccCertification?
FCC certification, the full name of Federal Communications Commission certification, is an important means for the United States to regulate the electromagnetic compatibility of radio and communication products. The purpose of FCC certification is to ensure that products do not interfere with radio and telecommunications networks, while protecting the safety and health of consumers.
IIfccWhat are the different types of certifications?
FCC certification mainly involves two types of certification: FCC SDOC and FCC ID. Among them, FCC SDOC certification is applicable to ordinary electronic products without wireless transmission function, such as TV, audio, etc.;The FCC ID certification is specifically for wireless communication devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, Bluetooth devices, unmanned aircraft, etc.
IIIfccWhat are the test items?
When carrying out FCC certification, the product needs to meet electromagnetic compatibility standards, including both transmitting and receiving. In terms of transmission, it is necessary to test the intensity of electromagnetic waves radiated by the product to ensure that it will not cause interference to other radio equipmentIn terms of reception, it is necessary to test the anti-interference ability of the product to external electromagnetic waves to ensure that it can still work normally in complex environments.
1.Conduction test.
Conduction testing is one of the most basic tests in FCC certification, which mainly tests the electromagnetic interference generated by the product during conduction. This test simulates the electromagnetic interference that may occur in the actual use environment of the product to evaluate whether these interferences comply with FCC standards.
2.Radiation testing.
Radiation testing is another important test item in FCC certification, which mainly tests the performance of products in terms of electromagnetic radiation. This test scans the product within a certain range to detect whether the product produces electromagnetic radiation that exceeds the FCC limit.
3.Harmonic testing.
Harmonic testing is used to evaluate the ability of electronic devices to generate harmonic currents. Harmonic currents are an undesirable source of electromagnetic interference that can negatively affect power grids and other equipment. Therefore, in FCC certification, the harmonic current of the product must be tested.
4.Electrostatic discharge test.
An electrostatic discharge test is a test used to evaluate the performance of a product under the influence of electrostatic electricity. Static electricity is a common phenomenon in daily life, and if electronic products are not properly protected, they may be affected by static electricity and malfunction or degrade performance. Therefore, electrostatic discharge testing is an indispensable part of FCC certification.
5.RF Radiated Immunity Test.
RF Radiated Immunity Test is a test that evaluates the performance of a product under RF radiated interference. This interference can come from radio frequency sources such as wireless communication devices, radars, etc. RF radiated immunity testing evaluates whether a product is working properly by simulating interference in a real-world environment.
Fourth, wireless product applicationfccWhat documents are required for ID authentication?
1.frn (fcc registration number)
Company Registration Code A 10-digit numeric reference number issued by FCC Cores when applying for FCC certification registration for the applicant can apply for FCC ID for free at FCC**.
2.Grantee Code
For customers who apply for FCC ID for the first time, they can apply for a Grantee Code (fee required) after applying for the FRN number, and only need to apply once.
3.FCC ID number (product ID number).
The first three digits of the product ID number are grantee codes, and the latter are self-coded by the applicant (more than 14 digits), and the product model is usually used as a self-code.
4.fcc label
Indicate the size and size, as well as the position on the product. The FCC Label must contain the FCC ID number and the FCC warning, if the label size is small, it can only indicate the FCC ID number, but the FCC warning must be written in the user manual. Other information such as manufacturer, product name, model number, etc., can be written in the label at your own discretion.
5.Product Description: Please give a brief description of the product's function, purpose, and signal flow.
6.Block diagram of circuit principle Please be sure to indicate the frequency of the crystal oscillator in the circuit.
7.Please make sure the circuit diagram is clear.
8.Product manual or instruction manual.
9.Blank letterhead for the company.
10.Letter of Authorization.
11.Confidential letter (if confidential).
5. The United StatesfccCertification Application Process:
1.Provision of information**.
2.Sign the contract, provide information, send samples, and make payment.
3.Wireless products need to apply for FRN, and the applicant is applying for FCC-ID for the first time, and needs to apply for GranteeCode
4.Our laboratory arranges tests, but the tests are not successful, and they are rectified.
5.After passing, the case is closed, the FCC certificate and test report are issued, and the enterprise can use the FCC ID mark on the product.
6. The United StatesfccBasic information of the certification:
1.The FCC certificate is valid for a long time.
2.FCC is a mandatory certification.
3.The first application for wireless products requires a GC code
4.To apply for FCC SDOC certification and FCC ID certification, you need to have a U.S. authorized representative (Meidai).
In short, FCC certification, as an important means of electromagnetic compatibility control of radio and communication products in the United States, is of great significance for ensuring the safety and health of consumers. For companies, obtaining FCC certification means that their products are more competitive in the market. Therefore, it is very necessary for companies interested in entering the U.S. market to understand and comply with FCC certification standards.
