FCC Certification Australia test Laboratory

Electronic products exported to the United States have always been of paramount importance to Australia, and certification by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is a crucial step for electronic product companies to expand into international markets, especially the U.S. market. FCC certification is mandatory and serves as the basic threshold for market access in the United States. It not only helps ensure the compliance and safety of products but also enhances consumer trust, thereby increasing the brand value and market competitiveness of businesses.

What is FCC Certification?

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) coordinates domestic and international communications by regulating radio broadcasting, television, telecommunications, satellites, and cables. Covering over 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to ensure the safety of radio and wired communication products related to life and property, the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology provides technical support for the commission and oversees equipment accreditation. Many wireless application products, communication products, and digital products (operating at frequencies from 9KHz to 3000GHz) require FCC approval to enter the U.S. market.

Types of FCC Certifications:

FCC certification mainly involves two types:

1. FCC SDoC Certification: Applicable to general electronic products without wireless transmission functions, such as TVs, stereos, etc.

2. FCC ID Certification: Specifically for wireless communication devices such as mobile phones, tablets, Bluetooth devices, drones, etc.

Documents Required for FCC Certification:

- FCC ID Label

- FCC ID Label Location

- User Manual

- Schematic Diagram

- Block Diagram

- Theory of Operation

- Test Report

- External Photos

- Internal Photos

- Test Setup Photos

U.S. FCC Certification Application Process:

1. Customer submits application form to our company.

2. Customer prepares test samples (wireless products require frequency setting) and provides product information (see document requirements).

3. After passing the test, our company issues a draft report, which the customer confirms and then issues the official report.

4. If it is FCC SDoC, the project is completed; if it is an application for FCC ID, submit the report and technical data to TCB.

5. TCB reviews and issues the FCC ID certificate, and the testing institution sends the official report and FCC ID certificate.

6. After the company's products obtain FCC certification, they can affix the FCC logo on the device. For radio frequency and wireless technology products, the FCC ID code needs to be applied.

Note: Manufacturers applying for FCC ID certification for the first time need to establish a company file in the FCC-FRN registration. After the TCB review is completed, the certificate issued will have an FCC ID number, which usually consists of the "Grantee code" + "Product code".

FCC Certification Timeframe:

Currently, FCC certification mainly tests radiation, conduction, and other content.

- FCC SDoC: Testing is completed in 5-7 working days.

- FCC ID: Testing is completed in 10-15 working days.

Does FCC Certification Expire?

FCC certification does not have a strict expiration date and generally remains valid indefinitely. However, in the following situations, products may need to be re-certified or certificates updated:

1. Instructions used for previous certification are replaced by new instructions.

2. Significant changes are made to the certified product.

3. Safety issues arise after the product enters the market, leading to the cancellation of the certificate by the authorities.
