FCC ID Certification Process

Key Points of fcc id Certification

FCC ID certification is a mandatory access system established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States for wireless communication devices. It applies to products using technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 5G. As a "passport" for Chinese electronic and electrical products entering the North American market, its core process includes:

1. Application for FRN and Grantee Code: First-time applicants must register a permanent Grantee Code and initiate product testing simULtaneously.

2. Preparation of Technical Documents: A total of 10 types of documents need to be submitted in English, including circuit diagrams, block diagrams, label location diagrams, and test reports.

3. TCB Review: After the test report is completed by an FCC-designated laboratory (e.g., China’s JJR Lab), the documentation is submitted to a TCB (Telecommunication Certification Body) for review. If approved, the certificate is issued within 3–5 working days.

Common Challenges for Enterprises

1. Incomplete Technical Documentation: 30% of first-time applicants experience delays due to missing technical documents or lack of authorization from qualified agents.

2. Failed Tests: 65% of rectification cases stem from exceeding limits in RF power or failing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements.

Highlights of JJR Lab Testing Services in China

1. Accelerated End-to-End Process: Leveraging A2LA-accREDited lab testing, technical document review, and documentation support, the certification cycle is reduced to 10–15 working days (industry average: 20 days).

2. Multinational Certification Integration: Supports simultaneous testing for FCC, Canada’s ised, and EU’s CE-RED, reducing redundancy and costs.

3. In-depth Technical Support: Offers technical documentation review, label design optimization advice, and pre-testing services to reduce the risk of formal test failures.

JJR Lab's A2LA Accreditation Upgrade Marks New Era of Localized Testing

In May 2025, China’s JJR Lab officially received accreditation from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA), becoming one of the few third-party organizations in China with full independent FCC ID testing capabilities. This brings two core values to clients:

1. Comprehensive Testing Capability Upgrade

2. Cost and Efficiency Optimization

Direct Report Access to TCB: A2LA-accredited data is directly accepted by U.S. telecom certification bodies, further shortening the certification cycle by 30%.

Multi-Standard Coverage: A single test can simultaneously meet FCC, ISED, and CE-RED requirements, avoiding duplicated efforts and costs.

Services Offered by JJR Lab

1. 48-Hour Response Mechanism: A professional technical team provides standard interpretation, expedited testing, and solutions to certification issues.

2. Transparent Quotation System: Tiered service packages based on enterprise size and product complexity, with no hidden fees.

3. Global Service Network: With dual accreditation from CNAS and A2LA, JJR Lab enables a "test once, certify globally" strategy.
