If you’re developing an electronic device and plan to market it in the United States, you will need to complete FCC lab testing and receive FCC certification for your device.
FCC certification is regulated under Title 47, Part 15 of the Code of Federal Regulations, or FCC Part 15. This regulation exists to ensure that devices capable of emitting radio frequency energy (RF) do not interfere with communication and broadcasting systems.

FCC Certification is Mandatory for Selling in the United States
In the United States, all electronic devices that emit radio frequency energy are required to pass lab testing and demonstrate that they comply with FCC Part 15 regulations.
FCC Part 15 provides specific limits for radio frequency emissions, including radiated emissions, conducted emissions and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
All electronic devices capable of emitting radio frequency energy are subject to the rules of FCC Part 15, including intentional radiators (devices that intentionally use RF, such as smart devices and Wi-Fi equipment) and unintentional radiators that do not deliberately emit RF energy.
The compliance process involves testing your device in a lab and verifying that it operates within the FCC Part 15 limits. Following testing, devices receive FCC equipment authorization via FCC certification, or through a process called Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC).
Receiving equipment authorization from the FCC is mandatory for all electronic devices subject to FCC Part 15. The FCC regularly audits Part 15 devices on the market and has a long history of fining businesses that market non-compliant devices.

Common device types that require FCC equipment authorization via FCC certification or SDoC include:
- Smartphones and other mobile devices
