FCC

Federal Communications Commission

Congress codified regulations in the Communications Act of 1934 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and these regulations are formulated, applied, and carried out by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is a US federal government agency established to regulate all types of communication within the country, including digital cameras, Bluetooth devices, wireless equipment, radios, televisions, and a wide range of RF equipment.

To regulate and reduce the amount of radio frequency (RF) interference between electronic equipment, the US government has mandated standards for products that could cause electromagnetic interference. Every electronic device sold in the US market must not interfere with other electronic items or jeopardize public safety.

An electronic gadget bearing an FCC certification indicates that it has undergone approval and testing to ensure compliance with FCC regulations. However, an FCC certification does not guarantee a product’s durability or safety. It merely indicates that the amount of ionizing radiation is within permissible bounds. If electronic equipment satisfies FCC emission laws and regulations and has undergone testing to ensure compliance with FCC standards, it may be approved under FCC guidelines.

Procedure for Obtaining FCC Certification
    1. Choosing a Radiofrequency : Manufacturers of electrical goods must ensure that the radio frequency remains within legal limits. They can refer to the FCC’s guidelines on radio spectrum distribution, considering factors such as radio range, power consumption, wave propagation, and optimization.
    2. Testing for Pre-Compliance Before Product Development : Manufacturers should conduct internal pre-compliance tests to ensure regulatory frameworks are followed during product development. Pre-compliance testing helps avoid costly surprises later.
    3. Enrollment in the FCC : Electrical items utilizing radio spectrum require an FCC Registration Number (FRN) to receive certification authorizations. Manufacturers can obtain an FRN from the FCC’s CORES system by providing their business address and contact details.
    4. Verification & Submission : After successful product testing, a Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) will review the test results and grant product approval on behalf of the FCC. The TCB will upload product details to the FCC database and issue a Grant of Equipment Authorization (GEA) to the manufacturer. This GEA allows the product to be legally marketed and sold in the US.
