FCC Testing & FCC Certification Maine

Any electronic device that emits radio frequency (RF) energy must comply with FCC regulations before it can be legally marketed or sold in the United States. FCC certification ensures that your product meets federal standards for interference prevention, electromagnetic safety, and radio emissions.

At Compliance Testing, we offer FCC testing and certification services for businesses across Maine. Whether you are creating a new wireless product or updating an existing design, our team manages the entire process from technical evaluation to FCC ID registration.

We also provide CE (Europe), ISED (Canada), and other international certifications to help you access global markets faster and more efficiently.

Devices That Require FCC Certification

If your device emits RF energy, either intentionally or as a byproduct of operation, it likely needs FCC certification. This applies to a wide range of electronic products used in both consumer and industrial applications.

Examples of devices that typically require FCC compliance include:

• Smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches
• Remote entry systems, garage door openers, and RFID modules
• Smart TVs, wireless audio systems, and streaming devices
• Appliances with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capability
• Routers, Zigbee hubs, BLE products, and IoT devices
• DJ mixers, synthesizers, microphones, and other audio gear
• Laptops, computer monitors, USB chargers, and adapters
• Smart home products like cameras, locks, and thermostats
• Industrial wireless modules and embedded RF systems

Intentional vs. Unintentional Radiators

The FCC classifies devices based on how they emit RF energy.

Intentional radiators are designed to transmit RF signals. Products like Bluetooth headsets, Wi-Fi modules, and RF transmitters fall into this category and require full FCC certification with an FCC ID.

Unintentional radiators emit RF energy indirectly through their internal components but are not designed to transmit signals. Examples include power supplies, desktop computers, and LED displays. These products may require verification or a Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC).

Our engineers will help you determine your device’s classification and guide you through the appropriate certification process.

Why FCC Certification Is Required

FCC certification is a legal requirement for most RF-emitting products in the U.S. Without proper certification, your device could face fines, import delays, or removal from online marketplaces. Platforms like Amazon and Walmart also require FCC compliance documentation before allowing electronic products to be listed.

Getting certified protects your business, improves your chances of market access, and demonstrates a commitment to product quality and regulatory compliance.
