FCC Certification Test Labs

FCC Certification

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the U.S. government that regulates the standards for electronic devices' radiation emissions. Almost all products that emit radio frequency energy must undergo testing by an FCC-listed or accredited lab and obtain FCC certification for EMC/telecom compliance.

JJR Lab is an FCC-approved testing lab with extensive experience in radio and wireless certification for the North American market. Partnering with labs that have deep industry expertise and broad technical knowledge can help you avoid common errors that may delay certification.
