Know Everthing About FCC Certification

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification mark is required for all electronic products manufactured or sold in the United States. It verifies and guarantees that the electromagnetic interference from the product is below the limit approved by the Federal Communications Commission. FCC issues the regulations on electromagnetic interference under Part 15 in 1975. After numerous amendments over the years, these directives were constituted again as the Declaration of Conformity and Certification Procedures in the year 1998.

Almost all products that can emit radiofrequency energy are required to be tested and certified before being launched into the U.S. markets. FCC is the independent agency of the U.S. government that controls the radiation standards of electronic devices or products. The commission makes sure that the electronic devices that are launched in the market are not emitting at frequencies that can harm the surrounding atmosphere, people, products, or equipment.
