Almost all electronic devices capable of emitting radio frequency (RF) energy are subject to the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), including the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Part 15 (commonly referred to as the <\/span>FCC Part 15 rules<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n FCC Part 15 sets limits on emissions from radio frequency devices. It\u2019s designed to stop radio frequency emissions from electronic equipment from interfering with important signals used for communications.<\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re manufacturing a device that\u2019s capable of emitting RF energy, even if this isn\u2019t needed for it to function, it\u2019s very likely that your device is subject to the FCC Part 15 rules and requires testing and <\/span>equipment authorization<\/span><\/a> before it can be marketed in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n We specialize in FCC testing and authorization for radio frequency devices and regularly assist electronics manufacturers with FCC Part 15 compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n Below, you can find a detailed description of FCC Part 15, as well as a full list of consumer and industrial device types that are subject to the Part 15 regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To talk to our team about FCC Part 15 testing and compliance, or to request a quote for testing your device, <\/span>contact us online<\/span><\/a><\/span> or call us at 866-540-5287.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n FCC Part 15 is a federal regulation that sets limits on the amount of radio frequency emissions that electronic devices can produce. It covers a broad range of electronic devices, from phones and other consumer electronics to certain types of commercial and industrial equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n The FCC regulates these devices to prevent their use from affecting radio services, such as TV and radio, cellular services, Wi-Fi networks, aviation and maritime communications, and certain emergency services communication networks.<\/span><\/p>\n The FCC Part 15 regulations apply to all electronic devices that produce RF emissions. Devices that are designed specifically to use radio frequency are classified as <\/span>intentional radiators<\/span><\/a> by the FCC and subject to a process called FCC certification.<\/span><\/p>\n Devices that do not deliberately emit radio frequencies as <\/span>radiated emissions<\/span><\/a>, but may do so as a byproduct of their internal components or PCB layout, are classified as <\/span>unintentional radiators<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Below, you can find a detailed list of consumer and industrial devices that are subject to Part 15 rules. All of these device types need to be tested and receive FCC authorization to go on sale in the United States, either via a <\/span>Supplier\u2019s Declaration of Conformity<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>FCC certification<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Devices classified as intentional radiators deliberately emit RF signals for communication, such as phones and Wi-Fi equipment. Almost all wireless devices are classed as intentional radiators and require FCC certification to go to market in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n Intentional radiator Part 15 devices include:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Devices classified as unintentional radiators do not intentionally radiate radio frequency energy, but may use radio frequency signals internally or send radio signals to other equipment through conducting cabling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These devices generally have a shorter, less costly FCC testing and compliance process than intentional radiators, but are still FCC Part 15 devices that require equipment authorization.<\/span><\/p>\n Unintentional radiator Part 15 devices include:<\/span><\/p>\n Compliance with FCC Part 15 is mandatory for all electronic devices that can potentially emit RF energy, including unintentional radiators. By law, devices need to comply with Part 15 in order to be marketed in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n If your device is subject to FCC Part 15, our experienced team of engineers can help you carry out lab testing, verify that your device complies with FCC standards, and help you achieve FCC equipment authorization, granting you US market access.<\/span><\/p>\nWhat is FCC Part 15?<\/span><\/h2>\n
