Cost Components of FCC Certification

1. Testing Fees

This is an important part of the certification costs. The testing items and required testing time vary based on the product type (such as wireless devices, general electronic devices, etc.) and the complexity of the functions, leading to differences in testing fees. Generally, testing fees for wireless products are relatively higher.

 

2. Certification Application Fees

A certain application fee needs to be paid when submitting the certification application to the FCC. This fee is usually fixed, but may vary depending on the type of certification (such as fcc sdoc or fcc id).

 

3. Technical Documentation Preparation Fees

This includes the preparation and organization of technical documents such as product specifications, circuit diagrams, and user manuals, which may require assistance from professionals, incurring relevant fees.

 

4. Agency Service Fees

If the business handles certification through an FCC consulting agency, agency service fees must be paid. The charging standards of agencies vary.

 

5. Other Possible Fees

For example, if the product fails the test and retesting is required, or if additional modifications and verifications are needed during the certification process, extra fees may be incurred.

 

Factors Affecting the Cost of FCC Certification

1. Product Type

Products with wireless functions, such as Bluetooth devices and mobile phones, usually have stricter and more complex testing requirements, so the cost is typically higher than for general electronic devices, such as computer monitors and chargers.

 

2. Number of Testing Items

The more functions the product has, the more items need to be tested, which increases the cost.

 

3. Choice of Laboratory

Different laboratories may have different pricing standards. Well-known laboratories with advanced equipment may charge higher fees, but their test results are generally more credible and authoritative.

 

4. Certification Type

The cost of FCC SDoC certification is generally lower than that of FCC ID certification.

 

Approximate Range of FCC Certification Fees

1. FCC SDoC Certification

The cost is typically around $650 to $1200.

 

2. FCC ID Certification

The cost generally ranges from $1200 to $3000 or even higher, depending on the complexity of the product.

 

It should be noted that the above fees are for reference only, and the actual cost may fluctuate due to various factors.

 

Suggestions for Reducing Costs

1. Prepare in Advance

Consider the requirements for FCC certification during the product design phase to minimize later adjustments and retesting, thereby reducing costs.

 

2. Choose the Right Consulting Agency

Conduct thorough market research and choose a service provider with a good cost-performance ratio. JJR Lab in China offers FCC certification testing and has successfully helped hundreds of companies across the country pass the FCC review.

 

3. Ensure Product Quality and Stability

Improve the quality and stability of the product to reduce the risk of failing the test.
