FCC Certification for Communication Power Supplies

Recently, many clients preparing to enter the U.S. market have consULted ROYIS about the compliance of general power supplies, so we are publishing an article to answer these questions. FCC certification for communication power supplies is a practical starting point for manufacturers, especially for products exported to the U.S. market. I have seen many enterprises face situations such as customs seizure of products due to neglecting this certification.

What is a Communication Power Supply?

A communication power supply is a device that provides stable electrical power for telecommunications equipment, typically used in systems such as base stations, switches, and routers. It ensures the reliable operation of equipment in complex environments, which is crucial for modern network infrastructure.

Is fcc compliance RequiRED for Exporting Communication Power Supplies to the U.S.?

Yes, if your communication power supply generates radio frequency energy, it must meet FCC compliance requirements for export to the U.S. This is mandatory. I have personally witnessed non-compliant products being seized by customs, resulting in business disruptions. Therefore, after reading this article, you should prioritize FCC compliance matters.

fcc testing Standards for Communication Power Supplies

fcc part 15 is the main testing standard for communication power supplies, setting electromagnetic compatibility rules for unintentional radiators.

①　Radiated Emission Limits: Ensure the device does not interfere with other electronic products.

②　Conducted Emission Control: Manage noise propagated through power lines.

③　Immunity Requirements: Test the device's resistance to external interference.

These standards are based on practical applications, and I recommend considering them from the product design stage.

What are the fcc testing Items for Communication Power Supplies?

FCC testing for communication power supplies includes electromagnetic emission and immunity evaluations.

Key Testing Items

①　radiated emission test: Measures radio waves generated by the device.

②　Conducted Emission Test: Inspects electromagnetic noise on power lines.

③　Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Test: Simulates daily electrostatic interference.

④　Radio Frequency (RF) Field Immunity Test: Verifies the device's stability in electromagnetic fields.

Passing these items confirms your product complies with FCC regulations, which helps enhance competitiveness.

Is UL certification Required for Exporting Communication Power Supplies to the U.S.?

UL certification is not mandatory, but I recommend combining it with FCC certification if safety risks are involved. UL focuses on electrical safety, while FCC emphasizes electromagnetic compatibility. In the U.S., obtaining both UL and FCC certifications can enhance market trust and avoid potential legal issues.
