Smart switch refers to a unit that uses the combination and programming of the control board and electronic components to realize the intelligent switch control of the circuit. Switch control is also called BANG-BANG control. Because this control method is simple and easy to implement, it is used in the control of many household appliances and lighting fixtures. However, smart switches are AV/IT products. If you want to enter the US market, you need to apply for FCC-ID certification.
The necessity of FCC-ID certification
According to the relevant parts of the US Federal Communications Regulations (CFR 47), all electronic products entering the United States (mainly for electronic products with operating frequencies between 9KHz-3000GHz) require electromagnetic compatibility certification (FCC certification), so FCC certification is in The United States is mandatory.
FCC-ID certification is a certification body authorized by the FCC to review the samples (or photos) and test data submitted by the applicant. If it meets the requirements of the rules, it will authorize an FCC ID number for the device. The equipment suitable for this method includes: low-level transmitters such as cordless phones, remote controls for automatic doors, radio remote control toys and security alarm systems, automatic frequency conversion receivers, etc. The responsible party of the equipment should ensure that the corresponding equipment is authorized by the FCC ID number.
Information and related requirements for FCC ID certification application
1. FCC application form: the application company name, address, contact information, product name and model, usage standards and other information are required to be accurate;
2. FCC authorization letter: It must be signed and stamped by the contact person of the applicant company and scanned into an electronic file;
3. FCC confidentiality letter: The confidentiality letter is an agreement signed by the applicant company and the TCB organization on the confidentiality of product information, which must be signed and sealed by the applicant's contact person and scanned into an electronic file;
4. Block diagram: all crystal oscillators and crystal oscillator frequencies need to be drawn and kept consistent with the circuit diagram;
5. Circuit diagram: must be consistent with the crystal frequency, the number of crystals and the position of the crystals in the block diagram;
6. Line description: It is required to be in English, and clearly describe the functional realization principle of the product;
7. Instructions for use: FCC warnings are required;
8. Tag and tag location: The tag must have an FCC ID number and Statement, and the location of the tag must be significant;
9. Appearance photos inside the product: the pictures are required to be clear and clear, and remarks should be added when necessary;

FCC certification process
1. The customer submits an application form (our company provides a blank application form);
2. The customer signs a commissioned inspection contract with our company;
3. Send samples for testing, and prepare electrical schematic diagrams, external/internal photos, oscillator circuit block diagrams, user manual nameplate identification, working principle descriptions, etc. (depending on the product);
4. After the test is qualified, if it is FCC VOC certification, our company will directly issue a certificate and report. If it is FCC DOC or ID certification, our company will submit the application materials to the FCC authorized certification agency.
5. After the enterprise obtains the FCC certification, it can use the FCC mark on the product.
