he full name of the FCC is the Federal Communications Commission of the United States. It is directly responsible to Congress. It coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio broadcasting, television, telecommunications, satellites and cables, and is responsible for the authorization and management of radio frequency transmission devices and equipment other than those used by the federal government. equipment.
According to the provisions of the relevant parts of the United States Federal Communications Regulations (CFR Part 47), all electronic products entering the United States need to be certified for electromagnetic compatibility (FCC certification); At present, the United States has become my country’s second largest trading partner for several consecutive years. The volume of trade is increasing year by year, so exports to the United States should not be underestimated. The US has the highest technical standards and import regulations in the world. Understanding the US market access rules will help Chinese products further open the US market.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-regulates the import and use of radio frequency devices, including computers, fax machines, electronic devices, radio receiving and transmission equipment, radio remote control toys, telephones, personal computers, and other products that may harm personal safety. If these products are to be exported to the United States, they must be tested and approved by government-authorized laboratories in accordance with FCC technical standards. Importers and customs agents must declare that each radio frequency device complies with FCC standards, that is, FCC license.
Among them, there are three FCC certification modes: VOC, DOC and ID, [fccID query at the bottom of the article].
Two, three modes of U.S. FCC certification
1. FCC -VOC: This mode is self-verification. Long-term products include AV products, corded phones, ordinary household appliances, and commercial PCs. Devices suitable for self-verification include commercial computers, TV and FM receivers, and FCC Rule Part 18 of
Industrial, scientific and medical equipment used by non-general consumers; manufacturers or importers ensure that their products have undergone necessary testing in FCC-approved laboratories to confirm that the products meet relevant technical standards and retain testing reports. FCC has the right to request The manufacturer submits equipment samples or product testing data;
2. FCC DOC: Declaration of conformity, used by household computers, computer peripherals and peripherals, civil broadcast receivers, other receivers of FCC Rule Part 15, TV interface equipment, cable system terminal equipment and Part 18 consumers Industrial, scientific research and medical equipment; the equipment responsible party (generally the manufacturer or importer) tests the product at the qualified testing agency designated by the FCC to ensure that the equipment meets the relevant technical standards and retains the test report. The FCC has the right to request the responsible party Submit equipment samples or product test data. After the product passes the test, the DOC and test report are obtained, and the manufacturer can label the FCC mark on the product and sell it to the US market;
3. FCC-ID: This is the CERTIFICATION certification. FCC-ID certification is suitable for low-power transmitters such as cordless phones, remote controls for automatic doors, radio remote control toys and security alarm systems, Part 15 devices that intentionally emit radio frequency energy , Part 18: Industrial, scientific research and medical equipment used by mass consumers, automatic frequency conversion receivers and super-regenerative receivers, TV interface equipment, and home computers and their peripherals;
The product needs to pass the FCC-approved testing room to complete the test. After obtaining the test report, organize the product technical information, including: product detail photos, block diagrams, user manuals, etc., and send it to the FCC TCB testing room together with the test report. The FCC testing room confirms that all the information is correct, and issues a certificate, authorizing an FCC ID number;
For customers who apply for FCC CERTIFICATION for the first time, they must first apply to the FCC for a number-GRANTEE CODE. After the product has passed the test and certification, the FCC ID number can be marked on the product and it can be sold to the US market.
Three, FCC certification standards
The main FCC standards are as follows, among which FCC PART 15 and PART 18 are widely used:
FCC standard scope of application
FCC PART15 C/E/F Intentional Radiation Device Test
FCC PART 18 Industrial, scientific and medical equipment
FCC PART 22 Public Mobile Communication Service
FCC PART 24 Personal Communication Service
FCC PART 25 Satellite Communication Service
FCC PART 27 Other FCC wireless communication services
FCC PART 68 Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
FCC Part 15 regulates launching equipment that is intentional, unintentional, or instantaneous and does not require a personal license in use. It includes technical specifications, administrative requirements, and other market access conditions.
The products are mainly divided into four categories: unintentional launching equipment, intentional launching equipment, personal communication equipment that does not require a license, and basic information equipment for countries that do not require a license.
FCC Part 18 regulates the electromagnetic energy emitted by industrial, scientific, and medical equipment (ISM) operating in a certain frequency spectrum to prevent the above equipment from causing harmful interference to authorized wireless communication services.
