Australia FCC EMC Testing Laboratory

What is FCC Certification?

FCC certification is the United States' mandatory EMC certification, primarily targeting electronic devices within the frequency range of 9KHz-3000GHz. FCC certification covers various aspects including radio and communication, particularly addressing radio interference issues in wireless communication equipment and systems. It includes radio interference limits and measurement methods, as well as certification systems and organizational management systems.

Which Products Require FCC Certification?

1. Computers and peripherals (keyboards, monitors, power adapters, mice, fax machines, etc.);

2. Household appliances, and power tools (refrigerators, electric kettles, electronic disinfection cabinets, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, electric shavers, hair dryers, ovens, massagers, washing machines, etc.);

3. Lighting fixtures (LED lights, LED screens, stage lights, switches, electronic devices, etc.).

(If you are unsure whether your product needs FCC certification for entry into the United States, you can inquire at chen18814186731@gmail.com).

What is EMC Testing?

EMC consists of two parts: EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility). This noise does not affect other systems as intended but does not benefit the machine itself.

EMI: Electromagnetic Interference refers to the electromagnetic energy that electronic products should not produce during normal operation, exceeding the prescribed standard. Test items and corresponding standards also vary depending on the product's function, form, and application scenario.

EMI Testing Items:

1. Conducted Emissions (CE) Testing (FCC 450KHz-30MHz, CISPR 22 150KHz-30MHz);

2. Radiated Emissions (RE) Testing (30MHz-1GHz);

3. Harmonic Current Testing (FCC part15: 1GHz-18GHz, EN300 328: 1GHz-12.75GHz);

4. Voltage Fluctuation and Flicker Testing.

Classification Levels:

EMI is generally divided into Class A (industrial) & Class B (consumer) levels.

Radiation 3m Laboratory Testing Example:

Class A requires no more than 50dBuV from 30-230MHz;

No more than 57dBuV from 230-1000MHz;

Class B requires no more than 40dBuV from 30-230MHz;

No more than 47dBuV from 230-1000MHz.

EMS: Electromagnetic Susceptibility refers to the ability of electronic products in a certain environment to withstand electromagnetic energy interference within the specified range and operate normally. Test items and corresponding standards also vary depending on the product's function, form, and application scenario.

EMS Testing Items:

1. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Immunity;

2. Electrical Fast Transient Burst (EFT) Immunity;

3. Surge Immunity;

4. Radiated Susceptibility (RS);

5. Conducted Susceptibility (CS);

6. Voltage Dips and Interruptions (DIP).

Classification Levels:

EMS is classified based on the product's operational state after interference is applied, ranging from Class A to D.

For example, in electrostatic testing:

Class A: The tested device remains in normal operation after testing or during testing;

Class B: The tested device is allowed to restart after testing or during testing without human intervention and can resume normal operation;

Class C: The tested device may crash or exhibit other abnormal behaviors after testing or during testing but can be manually adjusted to restart and resume normal operation;

Class D: The device is damaged and cannot be started regardless of adjustments.

Strictness: EMI follows B > A, while EMS follows A > B > C > D.
