Some time ago, many Amazon sellers have received an official email from Amazon sellers that radio frequency devices (RFDs) sold on Amazon.com's US site must meet new FCC compliance requirements, emphasizing that all radio frequency devices (RFDs) must be released on March 7, 2022. Provide FCC compliance certificate and information a few days ago, otherwise it will be taken off the shelf!

Now that the time is approaching, it is recommended that relevant manufacturers pay attention to avoid products being removed from the shelves!

If a seller is selling an RFD device on Amazon that is in the FCC radio frequency emission compliance attributes, the seller must do one of the following:

1. Provide evidence of FCC authorization, including the FCC certification number or contact information for the responsible party as defined by the FCC. 2. State that this product does not emit radio frequency energy or does not require FCC radio frequency device authorization. Fill out more information on FCC Radio Frequency Emissions Compliance Properties.

In fact, sellers are required to do FCC certification in March 2021, and Amazon has compliance requirements for products with radio frequency!

The difference is that the notice did not delete the ASIN prompt, but this time the notice stipulates that compliance processing needs to be carried out before March 7. It can also be said that this announcement is an "upgraded version" of last year's announcement.

What is FCC?

FCC stands for Federal Communications Commission, an agency of the U.S. federal government that regulates the radio spectrum in the U.S. The FCC prevents "radio and broadcast pollution" by enforcing broadcast decency standards and by regulating sources of electromagnetic noise.

All electronic products entering the United States require FCC certification (except for a very few products that are specially exempted from relevant provisions). The requirements of the FCC regulations cover transmitter requirements, wireless equipment, electromagnetic compatibility requirements, telephone terminal equipment, technical specifications such as test methods, administrative requirements, and other market access conditions.

Certified products include radio, television, digital cameras, Bluetooth, wireless devices and various RF electronic products.

Lab Advice

The laboratory recommends relevant sellers to promptly check whether any related products have not been certified by the FCC as required and conduct FCC testing and certification as soon as possible, otherwise the products sold will face the risk of deletion as mentioned in the official announcement.

As Amazon's third-party service provider, the laboratory can provide professional FCC testing and certification and other related testing and certification services required by Amazon. Welcome to consult!
