Involving more than 50 states in the United States, Columbia and the United States, in order to ensure the safety of radio and wire communication products related to life and property, the FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology is responsible for the technical support of the committee, and is also responsible for equipment Recognition matters.

Many radio application products, communication products and digital products require FCC approval to enter the US market. The FCC committee investigates and studies the various stages of product safety to find the best way to solve the problem, and the FCC also includes the inspection of radio devices, aircraft, and more.

According to the relevant part of the US Federal Communications Regulations (CFR 47 part), all electronic products entering the United States need to be certified for electromagnetic compatibility (except for some products specified in relevant terms). There are three common certification methods: Certification, Doc, Verification. The certification methods and procedures of these three products are quite different, and the certification methods that can be selected for different products are stipulated in the FCC. Its certification is of decreasing rigor. For these three certifications, the FCC committee also has relevant requirements for each laboratory.

The strictness of product technical standards and import regulations in the United States ranks first in the world. Understanding the US market access rules will help Chinese products to further open up the US market.

While waiting for the FCC to approve and distribute the Grantee Code to the applicant, the applicant should seize the time to test the equipment.

The FCC should have approved the Grantee Code when all FCC required submissions have been prepared and the test report has been completed.
