FCC Certification Process

I. Declaration of conformity

The product responsible party (manufacturer or importer) will test the product in the FCC-designated qualified testing institution and make a test report. If the product meets the FCC standard, it will attach the corresponding label on the product, declare in the user manual that it meets the FCC standard, and retain the test report for FCC requirements.

2. Apply for an ID

Apply for an FRN to fill out the other forms. If you are applying for an FCC ID for the first time, you will need to apply for a permanent Grantee Code. While waiting for FCC approval to distribute the Grantee Code to the applicant, the applicant should take the time to have the device tested. The FCC should have approved the Grantee Code when all FCC required submissions are ready and the inspection report is completed. The applicant uses this Code, test report, and required materials to complete FCC Form 731 and Form 159 online. Once the FCC receives the Form 159 and the remittance, the application for certification begins. The average time it takes the FCC to process an ID application is 60 days. At the end of the process, the FCC will send the Original Grant of the FCC ID to the applicant. After receiving the certificate, the applicant can sell or export the corresponding products.
