Frequently Asked Questions

What is FCC Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDOC) and Why is it Necessary? 

FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Certification is required for electrical and/or digital products in the United States that emit RF unintentionally. It ensures that the product emits RF at or below the limits allowed by the FCC regulations. For FCC SDoC compliance, nothing needs to be submitted to the FCC, as it is a declaration by the manufacturer attesting to the product’s compliance with applicable FCC regulations.  The responsible party will need to have a test report showing proof of compliance, in case it’s ever requested by the FCC, and must also complete and sign an FCC Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity.
