Bluetooth products refer to products that use Bluetooth technology. The application range of Bluetooth technology is quite wide, and it can be widely used in various data and voice devices in local area networks, such as PCs, dial-up networks, notebook computers, printers, fax machines, digital cameras, mobile phones, and high-quality headsets. However, if Bluetooth products want to be exported to the United States, they generally need to do FCC certification. FCC is a compulsory certification in the United States. Products with Bluetooth functions need to apply for FCC-ID.

What is FCC-ID certification

The full name of the US FCC certification is the Federal Communications Commission. It was established by COMMUNICATIONACT in 1934 as an independent agency of the US government and directly responsible to Congress. The FCC coordinates domestic and international communications by controlling radio broadcasts and cables. Involved in more than 50 states in the United States, Colombia, and regions in the United States to ensure the safety of radio and wire communication products related to life and property. The FCC certification is divided into FCC-SDOC (wired products) and FCC-ID (wireless products).

FCC-ID is one of the compulsory FCC certification models in the United States, which is suitable for wireless products. Products with wireless transmission frequencies, such as Bluetooth devices, WiFi devices, wireless alarm devices, radio receiving and transmitting devices, phones, computers, etc., all need to apply for FCC-ID certification. The certification of wireless products is directly approved by the FCC TCB agency, and the certification can be checked on the official website of the FCC in the United States.

The main parts of FCC ID certification

Finished product certification: certification of complete wireless devices, including modules, motherboards, peripheral circuits, enclosures, etc.

Module authentication: Module authentication is divided into two types, one is restricted module authentication, the other is non-restricted module authentication, restricted wireless module means that the type of installation host is limited, while non-restrictive module means that the installation host is not affected by it. However, the module can work as an independent system.

PC I certification/PC II certification: There are two types of certifications: Type I and Type II changes. When there are different changes to the certified products, how to deal with these changes during certification is basically carried out in accordance with these two types of changes.

FCC certification application process

1. The customer submits an application form (our company provides a blank application form);

2. The customer signs an entrusted inspection contract with our company;

3. Send samples for testing, and prepare electrical schematic diagrams, external/internal photos, oscillator circuit block diagrams, user manual nameplate identification, working principle descriptions, etc. (depending on the product);

4. After the test is qualified, if it is FCC VOC certification, our company will directly issue a certificate and report. If it is FCC DOC or ID certification, our company will submit the application materials to the FCC authorized certification agency.

5. After the enterprise obtains the FCC certification, it can use the FCC mark on the product.
