Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers FCC certification testing to assist manufacturers in evaluating radio frequency (RF) emissions and ensuring compliance with U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards.
Our services facilitate product development, regulatory documentation, and market readiness by evaluating RF performance, electromagnetic emissions, and interference limits. Leveraging the ATS Family of Companies and our global EMC testing network, we support organizations in navigating FCC compliance for electronic products entering the U.S. market.
Understanding the Significance of FCC Certification Testing
FCC certification testing verifies that electronic devices transmitting radio signals comply with FCC standards. These regulations mitigate the risk of harmful interference with systems like broadcast radio, wireless networks, GPS, and emergency services.
Many wireless devices must undergo FCC equipment authorization before being marketed or sold in the U.S. Achieving FCC certification compliance assists organizations in meeting regulatory expectations, reducing approval delays, and facilitating smoother entry into the U.S. electronics market.
What FCC Certification Testing Evaluates
Testing for FCC compliance is performed with specialized instruments in our controlled EMC labs to accurately measure electromagnetic activity.
Depending on the device and applicable regulations, testing may include evaluation of:
- Radio frequency output power and transmission characteristics
- Radiated emissions from electronic circuitry
- Conducted emissions through power lines and cables
- Frequency stability and bandwidth performance
- Spurious or unintended emissions outside authorized frequency bands
Industries That Commonly Require FCC Certification Testing
As wireless technology continues to expand, FCC certification testing plays an important role across multiple industries developing connected electronic products. Common sectors include:
- Consumer electronics and smart devices
- Wireless communication and networking equipment
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Automotive electronic systems
- Industrial automation and wireless sensors
- Information technology and computing hardware
Manufacturers in these industries rely on FCC testing to help demonstrate that their products operate responsibly within the shared radio spectrum.
