Products that are FCC certified have an equipment authorization approved by the Federal Communications Commission itself, or by a Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) under the authority of the FCC, based on representations and test data submitted by the company or individual applying for certification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you head to any store that sells electronics, you\u2019ll see that many or all of them carry the familiar Federal Communications Commission (FCC) logo, or FCC mark. The FCC mark looks like an \u201cF\u201d and \u201cC,\u201d with a second smaller C inside the larger one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, why do devices carry this mark, and what does it mean? By law, electronic devices sold in the United States need to comply with FCC regulations regarding electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FCC mark indicates that a product meets these standards and is compliant with regulations regarding its use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below, we\u2019ve explained what FCC certification is, as well as what it means when a product has the \u201cFCC certified\u201d designation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about achieving FCC compliance, or to ask us a question about testing for your product, <a href=\"https:\/\/compliancetesting.com\/contact\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">contact us online<\/span><\/a> or call our team on 866-540-5287.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is FCC Certification?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FCC certification is a type of approval that\u2019s granted by the FCC to electronic products in order to confirm they\u2019re compliant with all relevant rules and regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More specifically, FCC certification confirms that an electronic device is safe to use, and that it doesn\u2019t emit excessive amounts of RF radiation or cause EMI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completing the <a href=\"https:\/\/compliancetesting.com\/fcc-certification-process\/\">FCC certification process<\/a> usually involves testing your device in a lab to make sure its radio frequency emissions are within the allowed limits. The specific process for FCC certification varies based on the type and usage of any radio transmitters inside the device.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Does FCC Certified Mean?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being FCC certified is exactly what it sounds like &#8212; it means that a product complies with all of the relevant FCC standards and, as such, has achieved certification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FCC certification exists to make sure that electronic or mechanical devices only produce a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/general\/equipment-authorization-procedures\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">safe level of radiofrequency radiation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a product is FCC certified, that means that it\u2019s passed a testing process meant to gauge levels of RF output. This is an extremely important metric for any device to pass, as RF emissions can pose dangerous electromagnetic interference that may interfere with other devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are RF Radiation and EMI?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radiofrequency radiation, or RF radiation, and electromagnetic interference, or EMI, are two of the main factors that the FCC regulates when it comes to electronic devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RF radiation is the unintentional radio wave output that all electronic devices produce to varying extents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uncontrolled levels of RF can begin to grow into a risk of EMI, which can disrupt other electronic devices and interfere with their proper functioning. For example, you may have noticed your TV flickering or your cell phone signal changing when other devices are used nearby.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In severe cases, EMI can lead to dangerous irregularities in flight control, life support, and other complex electronic systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Do You Gain FCC Certification?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process for gaining FCC certification is rigorous but straightforward. When it comes to testing products and devices, the FCC outsources to a variety of accredited, third-party labs around the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to secure certification for your own product, then the first step is finding such a laboratory that suits your needs for testing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you find a suitable lab, you\u2019ll need to arrange for compliance testing. The experts will manage this process primarily on their own, using advanced instruments to identify the RF output of your device and measure it against regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your device passes the relevant FCC tests, it means that radiofrequency radiation remains within allowed levels as dictated by the FCC. Devices that fail FCC testing usually need to be reworked to reduce their output and comply with regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get FCC Certification for Your Product<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a product that needs to undergo testing and receive FCC approval before it reaches the market, we\u2019re happy to help.

However, it may not be immediately obvious why they carry it, particularly when a device might be as innocuous as a motor or phone. There are good reasons why seemingly all electronics carry the logo; it denotes FCC certification and compliance with the regulations that the FCC enforces.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>That doesn't fully answer the question, though, as it leaves out what FCC regulations do and why they're so important.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>What Does FCC Certified Mean?<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>FCC certification exists to make sure that an electronic or mechanical device only produces&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/general\/equipment-authorization-procedures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">safe levels of radiofrequency radiation<\/a>. If a product is FCC certified, that means that it's passed a testing process meant to gauge levels of RF output. This is an extremely important metric for any device to pass, as radiofrequency can pose dangerous electromagnetic interference (EMI).<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>What are RF Radiation and EMI?<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Radiofrequency radiation is the unintentional radio wave output that all electronic devices produce to varying extents. Uncontrolled levels of RF can begin to grow into a risk of EMI, which will disrupt other devices and interfere with their proper functioning. This might manifest as anything from static in communications devices to dangerous irregularities in flight control, life support, and other complex electronic systems.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>How Do You Gain FCC Certification?<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The process for gaining FCC certification is rigorous but straightforward. When it comes to testing products and devices, the FCC outsources to a variety of accredited, third-party labs around the United States. If you want to secure certification for your own invention, then the first step is finding such a laboratory that suits your needs for testing.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Once you find a suitable lab, you'll need to arrange for compliance testing. The experts will manage this process largely on their own, using various advanced instruments to identify the RF output of your device and measure it against regulations. If you pass the tests, it means that the radiofrequency radiation remains within safe levels. On the other hand, devices that fail will need to be reworked to reduce their output and comply with regulations.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>What Isn't Covered By FCC Certification?<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The FCC certification is a narrow process that only concerns one thing; potential EMI risks. If you see that a product has passed the FCC regulations, that means that the device produces safe levels of radiofrequency radiation. While you should make sure that any electronics you purchase are FCC certified, the logo is not a seal of quality or approval from a consumer advocacy perspective and should not be treated as such.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Expert Compliance Testing Services<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you're an inventor or a developer at a company, then you need to make sure that whatever you produce falls within FCC regulations. Failing to do so could pose a dangerous risk of EMI, subject you to legal liability, and more. Compliance Testing is one of the top providers of certification and testing services, and we can ensure that you fall within safe RF radiation guidelines.
