Electric Scooter FCC Certification ASTM F2641-18 Testing

When exporting electric scooters to the United States, you need to obtain FCC certification and meet the requirements of ASTM F2641-18 standard. Here is some basic information about these two certifications:

1. FCC Certification:

FCC certification is the certification requirement of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for devices using wireless communication technology. Electric scooters typically use wireless technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, thus requiring FCC certification. The purpose of FCC certification is to ensure that devices comply with radio frequency and radiation limits to reduce interference or harm to other wireless devices and human health. FCC certification includes testing the radiation power, frequency range, spectrum occupancy, and other indicators of the device. To obtain FCC certification, you need to commission an FCC-accredited laboratory for testing and submit relevant test reports and application documents. The certification body will assess whether your device meets the requirements of the FCC.

2. ASTM F2641-18 Standard:

ASTM F2641-18 is the safety standard for electric scooters established by ASTM International. This standard covers requirements for the design, performance, and safety aspects of electric scooters. According to ASTM F2641-18 standard, electric scooters need to undergo a series of tests, including battery charging and discharging tests, mechanical strength tests, protective device tests, etc. These tests aim to ensure the safety performance of electric scooters under normal use and in unexpected situations. To meet the requirements of ASTM F2641-18 standard, you can commission an accredited laboratory for testing and ensure that the device complies with the standard requirements. You may need to provide samples for testing by the laboratory and provide relevant technical documents and specifications. The laboratory will test the samples according to ASTM F2641-18 standard and generate test reports.

Please note that FCC certification and ASTM F2641-18 standard are only part of the certification and testing requirements for exporting electric scooters to the United States. You also need to ensure that electric scooters comply with other relevant regulations and standards, such as battery certification, CPSC safety requirements, etc. It is recommended to communicate further with local certification bodies, regulatory consultants, or professional consulting firms to ensure that you meet all necessary certification and testing requirements and comply with regulations and standards in the target market.

ASTM F2641-18 Testing Items

ASTM F2641-18 standard is about the safety performance of electric scooters, which includes the following testing items:
