The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification is a mandatory requirement for most electronic devices sold in the United States. Whether you are manufacturing consumer electronics, industrial equipment, or wireless devices, understanding FCC requirements is critical for successful market entry.

What is FCC Certification?

FCC certification ensures that electronic devices do not cause harmful interference to radio communications and operate within approved frequency bands. Any device that intentionally or unintentionally emits radio frequency energy must comply with FCC regulations.

FCC Equipment Authorization Categories

• FCC Verification — For digital devices that are not personal computers. The manufacturer self-verifies compliance.
• Declaration of Conformity (DoC) — For personal computers and peripherals. Requires accredited laboratory testing.
• FCC Certification — For intentional radiators like WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular devices. Requires testing by an FCC-recognized laboratory.

Key FCC Rules

FCC Part 15 governs unlicensed radio frequency devices, covering both intentional and unintentional radiators. Testing includes radiated emissions, conducted emissions, and band-edge measurements.
