The FCC Certification process is a mandatory procedure for ensuring that electronic products comply with the FCC’s regulations on electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the United States. Such regulations are placed to protect the radio frequency bands from being interfered with by electronic devices causing interference with licensed radio services such as emergency communications, broadcasting, and air traffic control.
In other words, if an electronic device generates radio frequency energy for which its sale, marketing, or importation into the US is intended, then such device is subjected to FCC testing and certification. The device is certified to comply with certain limits as to radio frequency emissions and other technical requirements.
The FCC certification is chiefly applicable in the USA, it does matter to Indian manufacturers putting their electronic products into the hands of the American market. Apart from such companies manufacturing electronic devices that are exported into the US, the product must be FCC certified for all legal sales and distributions across the border.
Most Indian companies can get the FCC certification through recognized testing laboratories, most of which are in India but near India. They work with the manufacturers for the testing of the products for compliance with FCC standards and for certification of the product.
Certification granted by the FCC applies to the vast majority of electronic products emitting RF radiation. The prime objective of the FCC is to ensure that no radio communication is interfered with by any electronic device or that the use of such devices may pose a safety hazard due to RF emissions.
Classification of Electronic Devices:
The FCC has classified devices based on their RF radiation characteristics.
Intentional Radiation: A device whose function is primarily to emit radio frequency energy and to radiate electromagnetic energy as an adjunct to the operation of that device. A few examples are: Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, radio, etc.
Unintentional Radiators: Unintentional radiators are those incidental to the normal operation of an electronic device that emits RF radiation; RF radiation is not an intended function for the device. Included under this classification are computers, digital cameras, and some power supply units.
According to the FCC computer principles classifications:
In general, specific classes are assigned to computer and similar devices according to their uses as defined by the FCC:
FCC Class A rating: Generally assigned to computers and electronic equipment used for commercial, industrial, or other noncommercial applications. Usually, the emission limit applicable to Class A is more lenient in comparison to that of Class B.
FCC Class B rating: For applying electronic devices which are allowed for any domestic or house. These are really stricter emission limits because otherwise, the interference would be a lot with other electronic devices of the house as well as with radio.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification offers a boon to manufacturers and distributors of electronic devices, especially for those targeting sales or marketing of their products in the United States. The following is a short list of advantages:
The members in our organization are getting enough knowledge on the FCC regulations and requirements in due course because of our vast experience in the certification industry. We always are ahead of new standards in compliance and give right advice, and fool-proof solutions.
FCC Certification is actually a certification by the U.S. government that provides a nod by the FCC for any electronic product whose radiofrequency (RF) emission does not exceed the limits set up by this commission. This allows one to import and sell any electronic devices in the country without the risk of incurring fines.
If you are a manufacturer, importer, or distributor of electronic devices which emit radio frequencies such as mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, and smart devices, you need to obtain FCC approval before exporting to the USA.
The process for getting FCC approved is:
The FCC registration costs differ on the basis of the following:
In general, the FCC licensing process could take 2-8 weeks depending on the product type, testing complexity, and total verification of documentation.
