FCC certification

Electrical/electronic equipment manufacturers planning to sell their products in the United States must ensure that their equipment won’t electromagnetically interfere with other products or cause harm to the public. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) oversees and enforces this requirement. Most products that can emit radiofrequency energy need to be tested and certified to be marketed or sold in the U.S.  The best rule of thumb is that any electronics device with the ability to oscillate above 9 kHz must get an FCC authorization, but there are exceptions.  When manufacturers sell equipment without the appropriate approval, they can be fined and could have their products and profits seized. Products that need authorization are either intentional or unintentional radiators of radiofrequency energy.  Intentional radiators are devices like a smartphone that must broadcast radio energy as part of their operation. Unintentional radiators are electronics like a digital camera that can create radio signals and broadcast them through space or power lines, as an unintentional byproduct of their operation.
