Benefits of FCC certification
The Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) regulates the import and use of radio frequency devices, including computers, fax machines, electronic devices, radio reception and transmission equipment, radio-controlled toys, telephones, personal computers, and other products that may harm personal safety. If these products are to be exported to the United States, they must be tested and approved by government-authorized laboratories in accordance with FCC technical standards. Importers and customs agents must declare that each radio frequency device complies with FCC standards, that is, FCC license. At present, the United States has become China's second largest trading partner for several years in a row, and the trade volume between China and the United States is increasing year by year, so exports to the United States should not be underestimated. The strict technical standards and import regulations of the US products, and understanding the US market access rules will help our products to further open the US market.

The right to request the manufacturer to submit test data of equipment samples or products. Devices suitable for self-validation include commercial computers, TV and FM receivers, and FCC Rule Part 18 industrial, scientific, and medical equipment used by non-mass consumers.
FCC certification and issuance method
According to the US FCC test requirements, there will be different test requirements and certification requirements for different products. At present, there are two commonly used types, which are FCC sDoC and FCC Certification (FCC ID) certification .
The FCC sDoC certification method is relatively simple, and most institutions can directly operate it. However, the certificate signer needs to have the relevant qualifications of the local authorized person in the United States.
FCC ID application process
First apply for an FRN to fill in other forms.
If the applicant is applying for FCC ID for the first time , they need to apply for a permanent Grantee Code . While waiting for the FCC to approve the distribution to the applicant Grantee Code , the applicant should take the time to send the equipment to the FCC authorized laboratory for testing. When all the materials required by the FCC are prepared and the test report has been completed, the FCC should have approved the Grantee Code . The applicant completes FCC Form 731 and Form 159 online with this Code , test report and required materials . After receiving Form 159 and remittance, FCC will start accepting applications for certification. The average time for FCC to accept ID applications is 60 days.

FCC ID certification application method
There are two general FCC ID certification application methods:
1. Send the product directly to the TCB laboratory in the United States for completion. This method has a relatively high cost and a difficult time to control (higher cost, not recommended).
2. Send the product to FCC accredited laboratory for laboratory testing, data preparation, and report completion. Then send the test report to the TCB agency for certification. At present, customers mainly use this method. FCC ID certification can be checked on the US online to distinguish true and false.

The responsible party shall mark the device as follows: ID certification FCC will review the samples (or photos) and test data submitted by the applicant, and if it meets the requirements of the FCC rules, authorize a FCC ID number for the device . Applicable equipment includes low-power transmitters such as cordless phones, remote control for automatic doors, radio remote control toys and security alarm systems, Part 15 devices that intentionally emit radio frequency energy, Part 18 industrial use by mass consumers, Scientific research and medical equipment, automatic frequency conversion receiver and super regenerative receiver, TV interface equipment, and home computers and their peripherals. 3. The responsible party shall mark the FCC ID on the device : Note: If a device is suitable for two or three types of approval, the responsible party shall select it. Declaration of conformity of certification process
