FCC certification for Indian electronics going to the US.
Wireless products need an FCC ID through a Telecommunication Certification Body; most other digital devices need a Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity. We plan the tests at FCC-recognised labs, prepare the technical file and labels, and coordinate the grant or declaration.
What FCC certification covers
Radio Emissions
Limits on intentional and unintentional radio-frequency emissions to prevent interference.
Two Routes
Certification with an FCC ID for radio devices, SDoC for most other digital devices.
Labelling
FCC ID or compliance statements on the product, packaging or e-label, plus user manual statements.
