FCC Logo

(United States)

All commercial electronic devices (unintentional radio-frequency radiators) sold in the United

States are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) if they:

• employ clocks or oscillators

• operate at a frequency of greater than 9 kHz, and

• use digital techniques

This includes almost every product that contains a microprocessor. If an unintentional radiator is

not controlled through proper design using grounding and shielding, the result may be highlevels of energy radiated or conducted from the equipment causing unwanted effects upon

another device.

Specific requirements have been set up by the FCC under Rules and Regulations, Title 47, Part15 Subpart B. The FCC has broken down Part 15 into two categories, Class A and Class B.

Class A Device: A device marketed for use in an industrial or business environment and not

intended for use in the home or a residential area.

Class B Device: A device marketed for use in the home or a residential area. Examples of suchdevices include, but are not limited to, personal computers, calculators, printers, modems, many

electronic games, and similar devices that are marketed to the general public.

It is illegal to sell or even advertise Class A or Class B products until their radiated and

conducted emissions have been measured and proven to be in compliance with FCCregulations. Specialized radiated and conducted EMI test procedures must be followedcompletely and correctly.

Many electronic products fail FCC testing. Our team of compliance experts can help you avoid

failure. Read the Top Reasons products fail FCC Testing.

independent, not-for-profit, product safety testing and certification organization. The UL Mark 

may only be used on or in connection with products certified by UL and under the terms of written agreement with UL.

The UL Mark on a product means that UL has tested and evaluated representative samples of that product and determined that it meets UL's requirements. The requirements are primarily

 based on UL's own published Standards for Safety.

The UL Mark is one of the most recognized, accepted and trusted symbols in the world. Safety-

conscious and concerned consumers look for this on products because it delivers the credibility

of an independent, technically expert organization which has determined whether foreseeable

risks associated with the product's use have been eliminated or minimized. Even after the productis offered in the marketplace, it must continue to meet safety requirements in order to continue

 bearing the UL Mark, or the mark will be removed by UL.
