Mobile Phone FCC Certification Testing Laboratory

Mobile phone FCC certification is a mandatory certification by the Federal Communications Commission for communication products sold in the U.S. market. Mobile devices need to meet FCC requirements. To obtain FCC certification for communication products, an FCC ID must be applied for. An FRN (FCC Registration Number) needs to be obtained first, and after FCC approval, product testing is completed. Upon obtaining a qualified test report, the FCC will send the Original Grant of the FCC ID to the applicant. Once the applicant receives the certificate, they can arrange for the product to be exported to the United States.

Mobile Phone FCC Certification Process:

1. The applicant signs an authorization letter to the laboratory that will apply for the FCC certificate on their behalf.

2. If the applicant does not have a Grantee Code, they must register on the FCC website to obtain a Grantee Code (this can also be done by the authorized laboratory on behalf of the applicant).

3. Provide the FCC ID number to the authorized laboratory using the obtained Grantee Code number.

4. If the applicant already has a Grantee Code, there is no need to apply again. Simply provide the FCC ID number to the authorized laboratory.

5. The applicant provides certification materials to the authorized laboratory.

6. The laboratory tests the product and issues a test report.

7. The laboratory submits the test report and certification materials to the TCB to apply for the FCC ID certificate.

8. The test report and certification materials are reviewed. If approved, the FCC ID certificate is issued.
