electronic and\/or digital devices that are used in commercial or industrial settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a solo inventor or a member of a company that focuses on designing electronic devices and equipment, you\u2019ll need to familiarize yourself with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Title 47 regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These regulations, which are extensive, provide regulatory guidance on the maximum levels of RF radiation that can be emitted by electronic devices. The FCC requires device manufacturers to keep RF radiation in check to produce devices that are safe to use in appropriate settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FCC\u2019s guidelines differentiate between Class A and Class B devices and provide different limits for each device type. If your device falls under Class A, it\u2019s important to be aware of the guidelines for this class and ensure your device is compliant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below, we\u2019ve described what Class A emissions are, as well as what you need to know if your device is subject to FCC regulations as a Class A device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information, or to request a quote for testing your device, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/compliancetesting.com\/contact\/\">reach out to our team<\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/compliancetesting.com\/contact\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> online<\/span><\/a> or call us on 866-540-5287<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- divi:heading --><\/p>\n<h2>What Are FCC Class A Emissions?<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/divi:heading --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of FCC Title 47, the FCC has established regulations to ensure that electronic devices don\u2019t emit electromagnetic interference that could interfere with other devices or systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Class A emissions are produced by electronic equipment and devices designed for use in an industrial or commercial environment. Class B emissions, on the other hand, refer to devices and other electronic products designed for use in residential environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RF emissions standards for Class A devices are less restrictive than for Class B devices, as the FCC understands that commercial and industrial environments usually have fewer RF-sensitive devices than a person\u2019s home. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Examples of FCC Class A Devices<\/h2>\n<p><!-- divi:heading {\"level\":3} --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under FCC rules, most electronic and digital devices used in industrial and commercial settings are classified as Class A devices. Examples include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Commercial\/industrial telecommunications equipment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as devices used in cell towers, satellite communications and other communications infrastructure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Commercial-grade security systems<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as surveillance cameras, alarms and access control systems used in business environments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Commercial point-of-sale systems<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as cash registers and other equipment used in a retail or other commercial setting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Industrial computers and servers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as factory and construction site computers, as well as computer servers used in data centers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Industrial machinery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as control systems for controlling processes, equipment in assembly line settings and industrial robots.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lab equipment<\/strong>, such as chromatographs, centrifuges, spectrometers, biosafety devices and other equipment used in laboratories.<\/span><b><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/divi:heading --><\/p>\n<h2>FCC Class A vs. Class B Emissions Standards<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because they\u2019re designed for use in commercial and\/or industrial settings, Class A devices are permitted to have higher levels of radiated emissions. These environments have less potential for interference with residential electronic equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Class B emissions standards are more stringent. Devices in this class are intended for use in a residential setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rationale behind the stricter standards for Class B emissions is that home devices are more likely to interfere with radio or television reception &#8212; as well as other electronic devices, such as personal computers &#8212; if they output an excessive amount of emissions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- divi:heading --><\/p>\n<h2>How to Comply with Class A Emission Requirements<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/divi:heading --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re developing a digital device for a commercial or industrial market, it\u2019s important to make sure that it complies with Class A emissions standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failing to comply with FCC Class A emissions standards can put you at risk of being subject to monetary fines, a cease and desist order from the FCC removing your product from the market, or the requirement to recall your products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that complying with Class A emissions requirements isn\u2019t a complex process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can achieve compliance with Class A emissions requirements by having your device tested by an accredited testing lab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As specialists in FCC testing, we\u2019ve helped hundreds of manufacturers achieve compliance for their Class A and Class B devices.

The document itself is quite extensive, although most of the focus goes onto Part 15b. This contains regulatory guidance on RF radiation, which the FCC requires manufacturers to keep in check. Without adhering to these guidelines, it's possible for uncontrolled RF to present potentially hazardous electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, these guidelines differ depending on whether it produces Class A or Class B emissions.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>What Are FCC Class A Emissions?<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The FCC recognizes two classifications of RF radiation and emissions. While they're the same three basic types of radiation, intentional, unintentional, and incidental, they differ based on the purpose of the device. Class B devices are meant for use in a civil, residential setting, and are thus subject to generally more stringent emissions requirements. On the other hand, Class A devices are not meant for use within the home.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Class A Devices<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Class A emissions are any type of radiation that a Class A device produces. As opposed to residential Class B devices, Class A devices are meant for roles in industry, commerce, and other roles. Class A devices include heavy machinery, forklifts, and complex equipment used in healthcare or other industries. However, this sort of technology often holds a certification for Class A and Class B emissions. Even when a device is unlikely to ever see use in a residential setting, meeting the more stringest Class B requirements will display that a piece of equipment far exceeds the Class A requirements.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Class A requirements are generally easier to meet, but those who create products within this class need to keep certain regulations in mind. For instance, the manual and other documentation must identify it as a Class A device.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>How to Comply with Class A Emission Requirements<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>There's only one way to ensure that your new product complies with the FCC requirements for Class A emissions. First, you need to offer a set of your products to a certified laboratory that's capable of testing for emissions output.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The FCC recognizes various laboratories around the country as capable of providing this procedure. Once you've found a suitable lab, they'll perform tests and see if your devices comply with the guidelines on RF radiation. If they don't, then you'll need to go back to the drawing board to modify the design and reduce the emission output.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Hire&nbsp;Compliance&nbsp;Testing<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Compliance&nbsp;Testing is an industry leader when it comes to accurate, reliable testing for Class A emissions.
