Applied Technical Services’ Family of Companies (FoC) provides FCC Part 15 testing to help manufacturers assess the electromagnetic emissions of electrical and electronic products and meet compliance with U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. Our team evaluates radio frequency (RF) emissions and performance requirements, supporting a smooth path to FCC approval and readiness for both U.S. and international markets.
Why FCC Part-15 Testing Matters for Electronic Devices
FCC Part-15 testing evaluates whether electronic devices operate within established limits for radio frequency emissions. These limits are designed to reduce the risk of harmful interference with communication systems such as broadcast radio, Wi-Fi networks, GPS, and emergency communications.
Products that emit RF energy—either intentionally or unintentionally—may fall under FCC Part 15 requirements before they can be marketed in the United States. Compliance testing helps manufacturers document that their devices operate within acceptable emission levels and align with applicable regulatory expectations.
Demonstrating FCC compliance can help organizations reduce the risk of regulatory delays, address potential interference concerns, and support smoother product entry into the U.S. marketplace.
What FCC Part-15 Testing Evaluates
The goal of our FCC Part-15 testing services is to support clients with product development, regulatory documentation, and market readiness. Depending on the product type and applicable FCC rules, testing may include but is not limited to the evaluation of:
- Radiated emissions from electronic components and circuitry
- Conducted emissions transmitted through power lines or cables
- RF output characteristics for intentional transmitters
- Frequency stability and bandwidth performance
- Spurious emissions outside designated frequency ranges
Industries That Commonly Require FCC Part-15 Testing
As connectivity continues to expand across industries, FCC compliance testing becomes even more relevant. Manufacturers across multiple industries rely on FCC Part-15 testing when developing electronic and wireless products intended for the U.S. market. Common sectors include:
- Consumer electronics and smart devices
- Wireless communication equipment
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Industrial automation and control systems
- Automotive electronic components
- Information technology and computing hardware
