Update time : 2024-06-08

There are FCC certification requirements for 2.4GHz wireless products when sold in the North American market. Certification tests are also different depending on factors such as product classification and application technology. This article will briefly outline the FCC certification requirements for this type of product. and test standards analysis.

Certification standards:
    FCC PART 15.207 Conducted limits
    FCC PART 15.209 Radiated emission limits
    FCC PART 15.215 Additional provisions to the general radiated emission limitations
    FCC PART 15.247 Operation within the bands 902?C928 MHz, 2400?C2483.5 MHz, and 5725?C5850 MHz
    FCC PART 15.249 Operation within the bands 902?C928 MHz, 2400?C2483.5 MHz,5725?C5875 MHZ, and 24.0?C24.25 GHz.

Testing requirements:
    When 2.4Ghz wireless products enter the US market, wireless mice, Bluetooth products, etc. must apply for FCC certification in the form of FCC ID, and relevant test reports must also be published on the FCC's official website for inquiry. There are regulations in the FCC PART 15 specification that describe the testing requirements for products with operating frequencies in the frequency range of 2.4-2.4835Ghz; the main reference standards are 15.247 and 15.249 (the two are in a parallel relationship, and 15.249 can be used for devices with very low power) , see the table below for details:
