FCC certification
FCC certification consultant for electronics
Approach FCC Part 15 with confidence, intentional or unintentional radiator
Independent help planning, designing and documenting FCC certification for electronic products entering the US market. We cover both unintentional and intentional radiators.
Short intake first. We review every project before scheduling.
Selling an electronic product in the United States almost always means FCC. The exact route depends on whether your product is an unintentional radiator (most digital electronics) or an intentional radiator (anything with a radio). We map the right route for your product and help you walk it without surprises.
Who it's for
Hardware teams entering the US market, teams shipping products with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other radios, and teams that have failed an FCC campaign and need a clean route forward.
What you get
An FCC plan tied to your product class, design reviews focused on Part 15 compliance, pre-compliance measurements and a complete test report ready for the accredited lab or TCB.
Intentional vs unintentional radiators
We confirm whether your product needs Verification, Suppliers Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) or full Certification through a TCB, and design the path accordingly.
How it works
01
Confirm the route
We classify the product (unintentional or intentional radiator) and confirm whether the route is Verification, SDoC or Certification through a TCB.
02
Design review
Audit of the design against Part 15 limits, with a prioritised list of changes to close before the lab visit.
03
Pre-compliance
Targeted conducted and radiated emissions measurements (and radio measurements where applicable) on a representative setup.
04
Lab campaign & filing
We help you choose the lab or TCB, prepare the documentation pack and support the campaign through to the granted authorisation.
Frequently asked questions
- Does my product need FCC certification to sell in the US?
- Almost every electronic product sold in the US falls under FCC Part 15. The question is which route: Verification, Suppliers Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) or Certification through a TCB. We classify the product and confirm the route upfront.
- What is the difference between SDoC and TCB Certification?
- SDoC is a self-declaration backed by accredited test data for unintentional radiators (most digital electronics). TCB Certification is required for intentional radiators — anything with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular or other transmitters — and involves a Telecommunication Certification Body issuing a grant under an FCC ID.
- Can I use my EU EMC test report for FCC?
- Partially. The measurement principles for emissions are similar, but the limits, configurations and required documentation differ. We map your existing EU data to FCC Part 15 and identify the delta tests you actually need to run.
- How long does FCC certification take?
- For SDoC, plan one to two months from a stable design to a complete report. For TCB Certification of an intentional radiator, plan two to four months including the TCB review. Both timelines shrink if pre-compliance is done early.
- Do you handle modular approval and host integration?
- Yes. We help teams that want to integrate a pre-certified module (saving an intentional-radiator campaign) and handle the host-product FCC obligations that remain when you do.
