Electric Bicycle FCC Certification Testing

For electric bicycles exported to the US market, FCC certification is essential and regarded as the passport for manufacturers to enter the US market. Attention all electric bicycle export businesses: Here's your guide to understanding the FCC electromagnetic compatibility certification testing standards for electric bicycles in the US market.

fcc sdoc - Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) – (Unintentional Radiator)

fcc part 15B – Unintentional Radiator

- 15.107 Conducted Emission

  - The lower limit applies at the band edges

  - Lower limits apply at band edges.

- 15.109 Radiated Emission

  - The field strength of radiated emissions from unintentional radiators at a distance of 3 meters shall not exceed the following values.

  - The field strength of radiated emissions from unintentional radiators at a distance of 3 meters should not exceed the specified values. Bluetooth functionality must meet the following requirements.

fcc id-Certification –(Intentional Radiator)

- 15.247-Operation within the bands 2400-2483.5MHz

  - Bluetooth EDR Mode Testing Items

    - Max. Output power

    - 20dB Bandwidth

    - Channel Separation

    - Channel Number

    - Dwell Time

    - Out of Band Antenna Conducted Emission

    - Radiated Emission

    - Radiated Spurious Emission

    - Band Edge

    - AC Conducted Emission

  - Bluetooth BLE Mode Testing Items
