Benefits of FCC certification:
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates the import and use of radio frequency devices, including computers, fax machines, electronic devices, radio reception and transmission equipment, radio-controlled toys, telephones, personal computers, and other products that may harm personal safety. These products must be tested and approved by government-authorized laboratories in accordance with FCC technical standards if they are to be exported to the United States. Importers and customs agents declare that each radio frequency device complies with FCC standards, or FCC licenses. At present, the United States has become our country’s second largest trading partner for several consecutive years, and the trade volume between China and the United States is increasing year by year, so exports to the United States should not be underestimated. The technical standards and import regulations of the United States are strict, and understanding the US market access rules will help our country products further open up the US market.

Kind of self-verification The manufacturer or importer ensures that its products have carried out the necessary tests to confirm that the product meets the relevant technical standards and keeps the test report, and the FCC has the right to require the manufacturer to submit equipment samples or product testing data. Devices suitable for self-certification include receivers for commercial computers, TVs, and FM, as well as industrial, scientific and medical devices for non-mass consumer use under FCC Rule Part 18.
FCC certification compliance
1. The person in charge of the equipment (usually the manufacturer or importer) tests the product at a qualified testing facility designated by the FCC to ensure that the equipment meets the relevant technical standards and keeps the test report. Devices applicable to declarations of conformity include home computers and peripherals, civil broadcast receivers, ultra-regenerative receivers, other receivers under FCC Rule Part 15, television interface equipment, cable system terminal equipment, and Part 18 industrial research and medical equipment used by mass consumers.
2. The responsible party shall make the equipment marked as follows: ID certification The FCC will review the samples (or photos) and test data submitted by the applicant, and authorize an FCC ID number for the equipment if it meets the requirements of FCC rules. Devices suitable 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 used by mass consumers, automatic frequency converters and ultra-regenerative receivers, television interface devices, and home computers and their peripherals.
3. The responsible party shall have the device marked with the FCC ID: Note: If a device is suitable for two or three approved types, it is the responsible party’s choice. Certification Process Declaration of Conformity The responsible party (manufacturer or importer) will test the product at a qualified testing facility designated by the FCC, make a test report, affix the corresponding label to the product if the product meets the FCC standard, declare compliance with the FCC standard in the user manual, and keep the test report for FCC request. Apply for an FRN to fill out the other forms. If the applicant is applying for an FCC ID for the first time, they will need to apply for a permanent Grantee Code. While waiting for FCC approval to distribute the Grantee Code to the applicant, the applicant should hurry up and test the device. By the time all FCC required submissions are prepared and the test report has been completed, the FCC should have approved the Grantee Code.
4. The applicant completes FCC Forms 731 and 159 online using this code, test report, and required materials. Once the FCC receives the Form 159 and the remittance, it begins accepting applications for certification. The average time the FCC takes to process ID applications is 60 days. At the end of the application, the FCC will send the Original Grant with the FCC ID to the applicant. After the applicant obtains the certificate, he or she can sell or export the corresponding product.
FCC ID How to apply for certification
There are two ways to apply for FCC ID certification:
1. Directly send the product to the TCB laboratory in the United States to complete, this method is relatively expensive and difficult to control the time (the cost is high, not recommended).
2. Send the product to an FCC-approved laboratory to test, prepare materials, and complete the report in the laboratory. Then send the test report to the TCB institution for certification. At present, customers mainly use this method. FCC ID certification can be checked online in the United States to identify authenticity.
