What is FCC Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC), and Why is it Necessary?
The FCC Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) ensures that electrical and digital products in the U.S. emitting unintentional RF comply with FCC regulations. This process:
- Requires the manufacturer to attest to the product’s compliance
- Does not involve submitting documentation to the FCC
- Requires a test report to prove compliance if requested
- Involves completing and signing an FCC SDoC
By adhering to the SDoC process, manufacturers demonstrate compliance with RF emission limits without filing with the FCC.
What is FCC Certification, and Why is it Necessary?
FCC Certification is mandatory for wireless transmitters that intentionally emit RF signals. This process:
- Ensures RF emissions meet FCC regulatory limits
- Requires documentation to be filed with the FCC’s Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB)
- Provides an FCC ID number for the certified product
FCC Certification is critical for legally marketing wireless products in the United States.
