US FCC certification introduction
FCC is the abbreviation of Federal Communications Commission. It was established by COMMUNICATIONACT in 1934 and is directly responsible to Congress. It mainly manages and controls radio and communications. It is a government agency and has law enforcement powers. In order to fulfill the duties conferred by communications laws, various treaties, and international regulations, and to promote more efficient use of spectrum resources, the Federal Communications Commission has developed technical standards for radio frequency equipment.
FCC certification is a compulsory EMC certification of the United States, mainly for electronic appliances from 9KHz-3000GHz, covering radio, communication and other aspects, especially radio interference problems of wireless communication equipment and systems, including radio interference limits and measurement methods , And certification systems and organizational management systems.
On November 2, 2017, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officially announced that in order to simplify the certification process of wireless devices and clarify the use of electronic labels, the DoC & VoC plan was officially changed to SDoC.
What is SDoC
SDoC, that is, Supplier's Declaration of Conformity, the equipment supplier (Note: The supplier must be a local company in the United States) will test the equipment that meets the required standards or requirements, and the relevant equipment shall provide relevant documents (such as the SDoC declaration document ) Provide proof to the public. SDoC policy simplifies the previously complicated FCC certification requirements, further reducing the burden on businesses.
