What is FCC Part 90?

Get help from JJR Laboratory engineers to ensure compliance with fcc part 90 regULations.  

JJR Laboratory provides fcc certification testing services for wireless electronics manufacturers worldwide, ensuring compliance with FCC Part 90 and other FCC regulations.

What is FCC Part 90 Certification?  

FCC Part 90 is a set of rules established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, governing the use of radio frequencies in private land mobile radio services. These radio frequencies are typically used by public safety organizations (such as police, fire departments, and utilities) as well as commercial applications (such as taxi fleets and construction sites). The certification ensures that equipment complies with FCC Part 90 regulations, allowing it to be legally sold and operated in the U.S. market.

FCC Part 90 focuses particularly on the use of radio batteries and radio location services. The regulation aims to protect manufacturers and end users, and any organization wishing to operate within wireless communication services (WCS) must comply with these regulations.

FCC Part 90 Certification Testing  

FCC Part 90 certification testing covers the entire radio and wireless communication system used in radio batteries and radio location services. Many public safety organizations rely on these systems for rapid response and uninterrupted service, making this standard critical.

The FCC requires manufacturers to meet certification standards, and end users must also adhere to safety guidelines. Organizations in public safety, hospitals, schools, commercial sites, and others can use private radios licensed under FCC Part 90.

Additionally, FCC Part 90 specifies the licensing requirements for radio location services. Due to privacy concerns, organizations offering radio location services must obtain fcc approval before launching services.

Which Devices Require FCC Part 90 Certification?  

Many radio devices require FCC certification, including:  

- Two-way radios (walkie-talkies): Used in industries like public safety, construction, and hotels.  

- Land mobile radios: Installed in vehicles for communication while on the move.  

- Paging devices: Though less commonly used, they are still used in certain industries.  

- Radio location devices: Used for tracking assets or people.

FCC Part 90 Testing Preparation  

To ensure passing FCC Part 90 testing, your engineers and the JJR Laboratory team in China need to provide detailed documentation. Different types of radio devices (e.g., fixed, base station, and mobile stations) have different requirements, and equipment will be reviewed during operation. The laboratory may provide additional information to expedite the certification process.
