The full name of FCC is Federal Communications Commission, and the Chinese is the Federal Communications Commission of the United States. Established by COMMUNICATIONACT in 1934, it is an independent agency of the US government and is directly responsible to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio broadcasting, television, telecommunications, satellites and cables. Involving more than 50 states in the United States, Colombia, and regions in the United States. In order to ensure the safety of radio and wire communication products related to life and property, the FCC's Engineering and Technology Department (Office of Engineering and Technology) is responsible for the technical support of the committee and is responsible for equipment approval.

　　 Many radio application products, communication products and digital products are required to enter the US market and require FCC approval.

　　 The FCC committee investigates and studies the various stages of product safety to find the best way to solve the problem. At the same time, the FCC also includes the testing of radio devices and aircraft.

  Applicable Products:

1. Personal computers and peripheral equipment (monitors, printers, keyboards, power adapters, mice, scanners, interface cards, electronic games, power supplies, UPS, fax machines, modems, answering machines, switches ( Server)...etc)

　　Three common ways of FCC certification

     1.Certification

　　1.Certification (ID certification / accreditation verification)

　　 Certification is the most stringent among the three commonly used methods of FCC certification. The procedure is:

　　·The equipment responsible applies for an ID from the FCC

　　·Complete quality test in a laboratory accredited by FCC

　　·The responsible party prepares the corresponding documents

　　·Submit the documents and test reports to the FCC committee

　　·The committee reviews the report and information, and if there are no problems, issue an accreditation certificate

　　·The party responsible for the equipment marks the FCC mark and ID number on the product.

Certification is mostly applicable to wireless products that are technically difficult, low-power transmitters such as cordless phones, remote controls for automatic doors, radio remote control toys and security alarm systems, Part15 devices that intentionally emit radio frequency energy, and Part18 mass consumers Industrial, scientific and medical equipment used, automatic frequency conversion receivers and super-regenerative receivers, TV interface equipment, and home computers and their peripherals. Also includes special: consumer energy-saving lamps.

     2.Declaration of Conformity

　　 2. Declaration of Conformity (DoC/Declaration of Conformity) DoC is currently the most commonly used FCC certification method, which is characterized by economy and speed. This method does not require FCC committee personnel to review test reports, and manufacturers can use self-certification. However, the self-certification test report must be issued by a laboratory accredited by NVLAP standards.

　　 FCCClassA products can continue to use the self-certification method, and the application process does not need to be reviewed by the FCC committee. DoC certification method can also be adopted for products applicable to Verification.

　　DoC certification process is as follows:

　　·The party responsible for the equipment (generally the manufacturer or importer) submits a test application to an accredited NVLAB laboratory.

　　·Submit product information and samples to the laboratory.

　　·Sample testing is carried out by the laboratory in accordance with FCC regulations.

　　·After passing the test, the laboratory will issue a qualified report.

　　·The responsible party of the equipment keeps the product documentation and technical data and test qualification reports for random inspection by the FCC committee. FCC has the right to require the responsible party to submit equipment samples or product testing data.

　　·The party responsible for the equipment marks the FCC mark on the product.

　　DoC method is suitable for general IT products and their peripheral equipment. Including home computers and peripherals, civil broadcast receivers, super regenerative receivers, other receivers of FCCRulePart15, TV interface equipment, cable system terminal equipment and industrial, scientific research and medical equipment used by mass consumers in Part18.

　　3.Verification

　　Verification (self-verification)

In the self-verification method, the party responsible for the equipment (manufacturer or importer) ensures that its products have undergone the necessary testing to confirm that the product meets the relevant technical standards and retain the testing report. The FCC has the right to require the manufacturer to submit equipment samples or product testing data . Confirm that the accreditation can be tested by laboratories above ListedLab.

　　Verification is suitable for products with more mature technology, such as televisions, commercial computers, TV and FM receivers and FCCRulePart18 industrial, scientific research and medical equipment used by non-mass consumers.
