The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is the U.S. federal agency responsible for regulating the telecommunications, radio, satellite and electronic industries. In the context of electronic devices, an FCC label indicates the product meets electromagnetic emission standards under FCC Part 15 rules.
FCC certification is mandatory for equipment sold in the USA and covers both intentional radiators (devices that transmit radio signals, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules) and unintentional radiators (devices that emit radio-frequency energy only as a by-product of their operation, such as digital electronics and displays). For example, displays, single-board computers, HMI panels and touch modules destined for the U.S. market must pass EMC testing and obtain an FCC ID. Although FCC certification is a U.S. requirement, it is often regarded as a mark of quality and compliance in international projects.
