FCC Certification: What You Need to Know
When entering the US market, radio equipment must undergo authorization by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). There are three pathways for obtaining this authorization:
- Certification: Full approval for your product.
- Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC): A simpler process for certain equipment.
- Combination of Certification + SDoC: A hybrid approach for some products.
Radiopark experts will assess your needs and guide you to the right choice based on your product specifications.
ISED Certification for Canada
The ISED certification process in Canada is very similar to the FCC’s requirements. Since the test specifications are nearly identical, it’s often most efficient to undergo both the FCC and ISED certifications at the same time. The additional cost of ISED certification is minimal, making it a smart choice for companies looking to expand into both markets simultaneously.
How Testing Works?
The extent of testing needed for your product depends on its design and implementation. Using pre-certified radio modules can significantly reduce the number of tests required, but the final product must always undergo testing to ensure it meets both FCC and ISED standards. Radiopark’s experts will help you identify the optimal and most cost-effective testing route.
