When is fcc testing required? (Wireless, Bluetooth, wifi products) FCC testing is required when exporting to the United States;

Generally speaking, any electronic device that can oscillate above 9 kHz requires FCC certification. Manufacturers must ensure that their products will neither interfere with other products nor cause risks and harm to the public.

FCC regulates both Testing and Certification for Radio Equipment in the USA:

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency responsible for implementing and enforcing America’s communications law and regulations, considered in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

Regarding radio equipment, the FCC certification ensures that all requirements related to EMC, Radio and Radiofrequency (RF) exposure aspects, including the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) parameters, are adequately fulfilled to meet U.S. regulations and protect users from any harmful effects they may have on them.

What devices are subject to FCC Certification?

From an engineering point of view, general non-intentional radiators include electrical/electronic equipment that generates radio frequency energy to be used within the device, or that sends conducted radio frequency signals to associated equipment via connection wiring, but which is not intended to emit RF energy by radiation or induction.

This description includes most electrical and electronic devices without wireless connectivity. Examples include coffee pots, cash registers, printers, wired telephones, and thousands of other types of common electronic-electrical equipment that rely on digital technology. This also includes many traditional products that were once classified as incidental radiators – like motors and basic electrical power tools that now use digital logic.

The FCC Title 47 Part 15 groups “RF devices” in the following major categories of operation:

Unintentional Radiators (Part 15B)

Intentional Radiators (Part 15C)

Unlicensed Personal Communications Service Devices (Part 15D)

Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure Devices (Part 15E)

Ultra-Wideband Operation (Part 15F)

Access Broadband Over Power Line (Part 15G)

White Space Devices (Part 15F)

Other equipment covered by the FCC certification under Title 47 are:

Cellular phones, devices for public mobile (Part 22)

Personal communications services (Part 24)

Equipment for satellite communications (part 25), i.e., radio equipment for which a license must be held in order to be operated.

The FCC certification scope considers equipment separately depending on the radio bands used, these being licenced bands, subject to prior authorization before being used, and free bands, also known as unlicensed:

1.Unlicensed Radio Frequency Devices are covered by FCC rules, Part 15 and 18. Part 15B and Part 18 related to “Unintentional Radiators” and “Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Equipment” respectively, are subject to voluntary certification, them being non-intentional radiators

2.Licensed Radio Service Equipment, covered by FCC rules, Parts 20, 22, 24, 25, 27, 30, 73, 74, 80, 87, 90, 95, 96, 97, 101, etc.
