FCC Certification
If you want to sell electronics in the United States, your product must comply with the regulations of the FCC, the U.S. regulatory agency. Virtually every device capable of emitting radio frequency energy requires FCC certification or an FCC declaration of conformity before it can be sold on the U.S. market. Instrux handles that entire process for you, from the necessary testing to obtaining the FCC ID and the required labels.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is the U.S. regulatory agency for electronic products that emit radio frequency energy. FCC Part 15 covers virtually all digital and wireless devices, ranging from simple electronic products to devices with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other transmitters.
Depending on your product, one of two routes applies. For most devices, a Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) is sufficient, in which you declare conformity yourself based on tests conducted at an accredited lab. For products with an intentional transmitter, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, full FCC certification is required, with a unique FCC ID issued by a recognized Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB).
In both cases, your product must be tested, must bear the correct FCC marking on the product or its label, and the documentation must be in order. If you do not comply, your product may not be sold in the U.S., and you risk fines or a sales ban.
We’ll handle your FCC certification from start to finish:
- Route Planning. We determine whether your product falls under SDoC or full FCC certification and which FCC rules apply.
- Testing. We have your product tested at accredited laboratories, either in the EU or in China.
- FCC ID and filing. For products that contain a transmitter, we handle the application through a certified TCB and obtain the corresponding FCC ID.
- Labels and documentation. We ensure the correct FCC marking and prepare the necessary declarations and documentation.
- Combine this with your EU program. If you also sell in Europe, we’ll coordinate your FCC and CE processes so you don’t have to do the same work twice.
This is how you can enter the U.S. market without delays or surprises.
