The use of tablets is becoming more and more popular as people's living habits change, and more and more powerful tablets are being exempted from testing in such an environment. So what is the process for tablets to apply for North American FCC certification?
In order for tablets to be sold in North America, they need to be certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The following is the general process for tablets to apply for North American FCC certification.
1.Prepare materials: First of all, you need to prepare relevant documents and materials, including product specifications, technical specifications, circuit diagrams, etc. At the same time, you will also need to provide test reports and supporting documents on performance, radiation, safety, etc.
2.FCC ID: You will need to apply for a unique FCC ID from the FCC at the same time as you prepare the documents. This ID will be used to identify and track your product. You will need to fill out a copy of ** and pay the corresponding fee when applying.
3.Radio spectrum analysis: Tablets often contain radio transmitting devices such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Therefore, you need to perform radio spectrum analysis to ensure that your equipment meets the radio frequency requirements of the FCC.
4.EMI EMC Testing: Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing are required. These tests are designed to ensure that your device does not interfere with other devices around it and is able to function properly without interference.
5.SAR Test: The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) test is designed to assess the impact of your device's radio wave radiation on the user's health. These tests need to ensure that the radiation level of the device is within acceptable limits for the human body.
6.Application Submission: Once you have all the documents and test reports in order, you can submit your application materials to FCC. Generally, the FCC conducts a preliminary review and conducts the necessary testing and verification. If you pass the audit, you will be certified by FCC.
7.Labels and Documentation: Once you are FCC certified, you will be given a label that includes an FCC ID. You will need to attach this label to the product and indicate the FCC ID in the product documentation. This will help consumers identify and verify the compliance of your product.
Please note that the above is a general process, and the specific certification requirements and procedures may vary depending on the type of product, functionality, and other factors. To ensure a smooth application, it is recommended that you understand the FCC's requirements in detail before applying, and work with a certification body or professional consulting firm to better understand and meet the relevant requirements.
