USA FCC Certification

Introduction to Certification

The full name of FCC is Federal Communications Commission, which means the Federal Communications Commission of the United States in Chinese. Established in 1934 by COMMUNICATIONACT, it is an independent agency of the United States government directly responsible to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communication by controlling radio broadcasting, television, telecommunications, satellites, and cables. To ensure the safety of wireless and wire communication products related to life and property in over 50 states, Colombia, and regions of the United States, the Engineering and Technology Department of the FCC is responsible for providing technical support to the committee, as well as equipment certification affairs. Many wireless application products, communication products, and digital products require FCC approval to enter the US market.

Certification type

On November 2, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) merged DoC and Verification into SDoC (Supplier's Declaration of Conformity). SDoC certification will replace FCC Verification and DoC certification procedures, and all devices applicable to FCC Verification and DoC certification procedures can adopt SDoC certification procedures.

FCC has two different certification methods for electronic products, namely FCC SDoC and FCC ID (Certification). The former is suitable for ordinary products without wireless function, while the latter is suitable for products with wireless function.
