The full name of FCC is Federal Communications Commission, which is the United States Federal Communications Commission in Chinese. Established in 1934 by Communications, it is an independent agency of the United States government directly accountable to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communication by controlling radio broadcasting, television, telecommunications, satellites, and cables. To ensure the safety of wireless and wired communication products related to life and property in over 50 states, Colombia, and regions under the jurisdiction of the United States, the FCC's Engineering and Technology Department is responsible for providing technical support to the committee and handling equipment certification matters. Many wireless application products, communication products, and digital products require FCC approval to enter the US market.

Types of FCC certification
1. Self verification
Manufacturers or importers ensure that their products have undergone necessary testing to confirm compliance with relevant technical standards and retain testing reports. FCC has the right to require manufacturers to submit equipment samples or product testing data. Devices suitable for self verification include commercial computers, TV and FM receivers, as well as industrial, scientific and medical equipment used by non mass consumers under FCC Rule Part 18.
2. Declaration of conformity
The equipment responsible party (usually the manufacturer or importer) tests the product at a qualified testing institution designated by the FCC to ensure that the equipment meets relevant technical standards and retains the testing report. The FCC has the right to require the responsible party to submit samples of the equipment or testing data of the product. The equipment applicable to the conformity declaration includes home computers and peripherals, civilian broadcast receivers, super regenerative receivers, other receivers under FCC Rule Part 15, television interface equipment, cable system terminal equipment, and industrial research and medical equipment for mass consumer use under Part 18. The responsible party shall make the following markings on the equipment.
3. ID authentication
The FCC reviews the samples (or photos) and test data submitted by applicants, and if they meet the requirements of FCC rules, grants the device an FCC ID number. Equipment suitable for certification includes low voltage transmitters such as cordless phones, remote controls for automatic doors, wireless remote control toys and safety alarm systems, devices intentionally emitting radio frequency energy under Part 15, industrial, scientific and medical equipment used by mass consumers under Part 18, automatic frequency conversion receivers and super regenerative receivers, television interface equipment, as well as home computers and their peripherals. The responsible party shall ensure that the equipment is marked with FCC ID.

The necessity of FCC certification
Products sold in the US market require mandatory FCC certification, whether they are products within the US or exported to other countries, they must undergo FCC certification testing. We can see that many electronic products in the market have FCC certification marks, which test the conduction and radiation of the products. FCC certification is of great significance in the US market. FCC certification is an important passport and pass in the US market, and only products with this mark can smoothly enter the US market.

Important changes to FCC SDoC certification:
SDoC requires applicants to provide contact information such as the name, address, and phone number of the responsible party for products within the United States. The responsible party can be the manufacturer or importer.
In the past, there were three certification methods for electronic products: Verification, DoC (Declaration of Conformity), and Certification. However, the latest FCC SDoC certification is now more simplified and clear than before. Under the SDoC certification program, the FCC logo is no longer a mandatory requirement, and the FCC SDoC certification program allows the use of electronic tags while reducing cumbersome import declaration requirements.
Customers can choose to mark or not mark the FCC logo on products that have passed the FCC SDoC certification process.
The testing and certification of SDoC may not be conducted in FCC accredited laboratories, but the testing and certification of Certification still need to be conducted in FCC accredited laboratories.
For Certification products, electronic screens will be allowed to display FCC IDs; If the FCC ID cannot be marked on the product due to its small size and there is no electronic screen to display the FCC ID, the FCC ID should be included in the user manual and placed on the product packaging or attached to the product with a removable label.
For products subject to FCC Part 18, commercial industrial, scientific, and medical products must be certified by SDoC or Cetification, while commercial ultrasonic products (less than 500 watts and operating frequency less than 90kHz) and non-commercial industrial, scientific, and medical products must be certified by SDoC.
