FCC certification is mainly divided into two modes: fcc sdoc (Supplier's Declaration of Conformity) and fcc id (Certification). The applicable situations for handheld fans are as follows:
If your handheld fan does not have wireless communication features and is a standard electronic product, it needs to undergo FCC SDoC certification. This certification follows the fcc part 15 B standard, primarily testing electromagnetic interference to ensure the product does not cause harmful interference to nearby radio devices.
For example, a basic handheld fan without features like remote control or Bluetooth would be suitable for this certification.
When a handheld fan has wireless features, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi control, or infrared remote control, it must undergo FCC Part 15 C certification and apply for an FCC ID.
A handheld fan with Bluetooth functionality, for instance, emits wireless signals during use and requires stricter testing and certification to ensure its wireless transmission does not interfere with other licensed radio services.
- FCC SDoC certification: Generally takes around 5 to 7 business days.
- FCC ID certification: Due to the more complex testing and review process, the cycle typically lasts 2 to 3 weeks.
If the product fails the testing and requires modifications, the certification cycle will be extended accordingly.
- The fees vary depending on the product type, features, testing items, and other factors:
- FCC SDoC certification: Costs are generally around $780.
- FCC ID certification: For products with wireless functionality, the fees could range from $1400 to $2000.
