Certification IntroductionThe full name of the FCC is the Federal Communications Commission, established in 1934 by COMMUNICATION ACT, it is an independent agency of the U.S. government and is directly accountable to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio, television, telecommunications, satellite and cable. Involving more than 50 states in the United States, Columbia and the United States In order to ensure the safety of radio and wire communication products related to life and property, the FCC Engineering and Technology Department is responsible for the technical support of the committee and is responsible for equipment approval. Many radio application products, communication products and digital products require FCC approval to enter the US market. Authentication typeOn November 2, 2017, the FCC merged DoC and Verification into SDoC (Supplier's Declaration of Conformity). SDoC certification will replace the FCC Verification and DoC certification procedures. All equipment applicable to the FCC Verification and DoC certification procedures are taken by SDoC certification procedures. The FCC has two different certification methods for the types of electronic products: FCC SDoC and FCC ID (Certification). The former is suitable for ordinary products without wireless functions, and the latter is suitable for products with wireless functions.Comparison between FCC SDoC and FCC IDFCC SDoCFCC IDApplicable ProductsOrdinary products without wireless functions, such as display screens, lamps, etc.Products with wireless functions, such as mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, etc.Test contentElectromagnetic Compatibility EMCElectromagnetic compatibility EMC+RFCertification feeLowhightest periodshortlong Applicable product scope1.
