FCC Certification: LAUNCH Safe Products With Expert’s Guide

Do you have Electronic equipment in your HOME? Check the FCC logo on the electronic device. I am 200% sure it will be there. 

Do you KNOW why? 

Without this mark, manufacturers can not even sell a SINGLE DEVICE. 

Suppose it is NOT THERE. Caution! You should not buy such electronic devices that are not SAFE. 

If you are A SELLER, FCC is a must-have certificate. Without it, you can’t SELL radio frequency devices. 

Our LEELINE SOURCING EXPERTS procure a decade of experience. We help you COMPLY with FCC rules and get relevant certification. SELLING occurs smoothly and effectively. 

Are you INTERESTED? 

Read this product certification guide. I will dive deep into this TOPIC. 

Let’s get started

FCC Certification

What is FCC Certification?

What is FCC Certification

Electrical products POSE SOME RISKS. For example, radio frequency above the DANGEROUS limits causes edema. There are many examples of swelling. 

So, how to REDUCE THE USE of electrical products? In engineering settings, the solution is to limit radio frequency, not electrical products. 

FFC compliance testing highlights the Radiofrequency energy emitted. 

 If it does more than 9K hertz, you can’t sell with that TOXIC radiofrequency energy level. 

Product compliance with 9K Hz or less is an essential requirement. The compliance testing process ensures that. 

Want to know more? Let’s discuss this. 

How Much Does It Cost to Get FCC Certification?

How Much Does It Cost to Get FCC Certification

FCC certification testing cost is different for different requirements. And it is DIFFERENT even in the electrical products category. 

So, what factors determine the price? 

These are: 

  • Product category 
  • Required equipment
  • Type of radio device

Let me explain how the price acts with an EXAMPLE. 

Suppose you want the FCC TESTING for a single radio. There are two parts: 

  • Transmitter part— it transmits radio signals. 
  • The receiver part — receives the radio energy. 

So, what is the OVERALL COST of compliance testing? 

It will cost around $5000. I know it is a QUITE HIGH amount for a single equipment compliance testing process. Once you project it to a BATCH, it is not a HIGH AMOUNT. 

The transmitter will cost you 3500 USD. In contrast, the receiver equipment authorization cost is 1500 USD

What Products Should Require An FCC Certificate?

What Products Should Require An FCC Certificate

There are two categories of ELECTRONIC products here. 

  • Intentional radiators. It includes devices that broadcast radio energy when operating. The SIMPLEST example is the smartphone. It is one of the RF-emitting devices. 
  • Unintentional Radiators. These electrical products don’t emit radio frequency energy during operation. These may broadcast radio frequency through power lines as by-products. For example, digital cameras. 

Guess for which devices FCC TESTING is essential? 

For both. 

FCC certificates are necessary for protective systems intended for intentional radiators. 

However, I have listed FCC TESTING for some tools. 

  • Wireless local area networking equipment
  • Radio and telecommunications terminal equipment
  • Bluetooth devices
  • Mobile phones
  • Electronic products
  • Cordless telephones
  • Remote control transmitters
  • Power adapters
  • Electromagnetic compatibility products
  • Equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive
  • Telecommunication equipment
  • IT equipment
  • Walkie talkies
  • Wireless devices

Why Do Your Products Need FCC Certification?

Why Do Your Products Need FCC Certification

FCC certification gives PEACE of mind. It is CRUCIAL. And ask me why? 

It is because of the following reasons. 

  • Access to the US MARKET

The US wants your products to comply with the TESTING rules. 

Have that? You are good to go for the selling process. If not, it is IMPOSSIBLE to sell legally. And if you sell illegally, you may have to face serious consequences. 

And even Amazon does not let you upload LISTINGS without it. 

So, do you want to get access to the US market? 

If yes, why not follow the LEGAL STANDARDS? It is easier and more EFFECTIVE. You enjoy many other benefits for your business. 

  • Seamless experience while selling

I always grab the FCC certificates. It is because of SEAMLESS experience while selling. 

There is no fear because I haven’t broken any rule. Moreover, the products are 100% SAFE. Every customer is going to like it in its vicinity. 

The smooth selling process is KINGMAKER. 

  • A reputed name in the Market

Whenever I buy an electronic product, it checks its packaging. 

Is the FCC logo printed? If yes, what rules does it follow? 

And if the FCC is not printed, I immediately discard it. This type of behavior can be EXPECTED from other customers. 

Within days, you can become a SYMBOL of trust because of safe inventory. 

  • Get customers’ attention and make more sales

95% of sales occur based on customers’ CREDENCE. 

If I want to buy a PRODUCT, my first reaction is to ENSURE SAFETY. Who wants to buy something that harms them? 

I think no one would like to do that. 

If you sell FCC-approved devices, your customers will believe in you. 

And you know the results. 

A chain of CUSTOMERS will lift your business from the ground to the SKY. 

Higher sales. Higher profits. And Higher revenue. A dream for every seller. 

How to Obtain A FCC Certification for Products?

How to Obtain A FCC Certification for Products

FCC CERTIFICATION PROCESS does not involve a ROCKET SCIENCE. It is pretty straightforward. 

For instance, you need an FCC-registered testing facility. 

Here are some steps to get an FCC registration number for an ELECTRONIC device. 

Step 1: Choose a radio frequency and design equipment

Is choosing the radio range hard for you? 

No ISSUES. You can visit the GUIDELINES on radio spectrum allocation. 

When choosing it, ensure it fits the range, size, and optimization. 

Step 2: Tests during development

It is BY FAR the best idea to test an electronic device while manufacturing. 

You can be safe from SURPRISES when going for FCC approval. Apply the different rules as directed by the FCC while testing. 

Step 3: Register with Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Registration with FFC is an essential step before you go for certificate. 

Is it necessary? 

Yes, 100% ESSENTIAL to get the FCC certifications. You’ll get the FCC Grantee code for further testing services. 

Step 4: Compliance test

Make your production-ready prototype and its technical specification ready. 

Are these ready? 

Submit for the TESTING LIMITS. An FCC-accredited laboratory will perform multiple tests. If you want to check the tests yourself, do it. A representative witness is an ALTERNATIVE option. 

Without it, you are still GOOD TO GO. 

Step 5: Test report

A couple of weeks take an accredited lab to test the products. Around 8-12 weeks is the STANDARDIZED time for the testing process. 

After some time, you’ll get the REPORT. It will show your products have passed the FCC testing criteria. 

Step 6: Documentation

The next step is to SUBMIT the documents. Submit: 

  • FCC testing report
  • Product details
  • Business address 
  • Supplier’s declaration. 

Once you have done that, the last STEP is there for the FCC declaration of conformity. 

Step 7: Certification & Filing

TCB will check the documents. Ensure your products meet the criteria. And issues a GRANT OF EQUIPMENT AUTHORIZATION. 

That is all. 

You can now sell the products in the market.
