5G Wireless Router FCC Certification

Routers are common wireless electronic products in daily life. The mandatory certification for exporting to the United States is the FCC certification. If you want to increase visibility, you can also obtain UL certification (though this is not mandatory). If you also plan to export to Canada, which is adjacent to the United States, you will need IC certification.

For routers, the following certifications are primarily required:

- FCC Certification: Complies with the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, ensuring that the device does not cause interference with other devices.

- UL Certification (Optional): Although not mandatory, UL certification can enhance the product's market recognition and ensure the device's safety.

- IC Certification (If applicable): If the product is also intended for the Canadian market, it must comply with relevant regulations from the Canadian Ministry of Industry.

Standards for Routers

- FCC Part 15: Applicable to wireless communication devices, including routers, for most electronic equipment.

- UL 60950-1 / UL 62368-1: Standards concerning safety and performance.

- IEEE 802.11: Standards related to wireless networking (if the router supports Wi-Fi functionality).

Router Testing Items

- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing: Ensures that the device does not interfere with other electronic devices.

- Radiation Testing: Tests whether the radio waves emitted by the device are within a safe range.

- Safety Testing: Checks the safety of the device under normal use and fault conditions.

- Performance Testing: Assesses the device's performance, such as transmission speed and coverage range.

Router FCC Certification Cycle

Typically takes 4-8 weeks, with the specific time depending on the complexity of the device and the scheduling of the testing laboratory.

Router FCC Certification Costs

Generally ranges from $1,000 to $1,600, depending on the complexity of the testing items and the laboratory's fee structure.

Requirements for Laboratory Institutions (Especially for Amazon)

- ISO Certification: The selected laboratory should have ISO/IEC 17025 certification, demonstrating its laboratory management and technical capabilities.

- Accredited Laboratory: Choose a laboratory accredited by the FCC or UL for testing to ensure that the results are accepted by platforms like Amazon.
