Our three test laboratories are accredited by A2LA to the requirements of FCC Title 47 CFR parts 15B and part 18 (and in addition to part 15C for the Castleford Lab);

BCTC offers FCC electronic product compliance testing measurements for unintentional and intentional radiators covering electromagnetic emissions ranging from 9 kHz to 40 GHz.

When using the certification authorisation-route, in addition to testing, BCTC also offers the service of acting as an agent making the application on behalf of the customer.

Our FCC accreditation schedule for each of our laboratories can be found on the FCC Website.

FCC Rules

The Federal Communications Commission is the federal agency responsible for implementing and enforcing America's communications law and regulations including those for radio frequency (RF) devices and ISM equipment. Its rules and regulations are published in Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) which includes the requirements for placing RF devices on the US market.

For RF devices which are unintentional transmitters the authorisation process depends on the product. Radio devices which are intentional transmitters / radiators however must follow the certification authorisation-route.

BCTC offers a range of FCC electronic product compliance testing to 47 CFR 15 and 47 CFR 18 and all of our laboratories are listed on the FCC website as an FCC recognised accredited testing laboratory.

CERTIFICATION

• Applies to intentional radiators and certain unintentional radiators.
• Testing by an accredited test laboratory is mandatory, followed by TCB (Telecommunications Certification Body) formal certification.
• Certified devices require an FCC ID.
• A grant of Equipment Authorisation is issued by the TCB for certified equipment.

SUPPLIERS DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY (SDOC)

• Equipment that does not contain a radio transmitter and contains only digital circuitry - such as computer peripherals, microwave ovens, ISM equipment, switching power supplies, LED light bulbs, radio receivers and TV interface devices - is subject to approval using the SDoC procedure with an option to use the certification procedures
• For any equipment subject to the SDoC procedure, the certification equipment authorization procedure may be used in place of the SDoC procedure at the option of the responsible party
• For equipment that contains both unintentional radiators (e.g., digital logic circuitry) within an end product and intentional radiators, the unintentional radiator portion can be generally authorized under either SDoC or certification while the intentional radiators (e.g., radio transmitters) contained in the equipment is typically required to be certified

Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) is an FCC equipment authorization procedure that requires the party responsible for compliance to ensure that the equipment complies with the appropriate technical standards.

The responsible party is not required to file an equipment authorization application with the Commission or a TCB; therefore, equipment approved under the SDoC procedure is not listed in any Commission database.
