FCC Part 15 for Unintentional Radiators: What OEMs Still Miss

If your product contains clocks and digital circuitry, it is likely an unintentional radiator under FCC Part 15 Subpart B — even with no Wi-Fi. Intentional radiators (transmitters) add Subpart C (and others) obligations on top.

SDoC vs Certification

Many unintentional radiators use Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) with responsible-party documentation in the US. Intentional radiators generally need equipment authorization (Certification) via a TCB. Mixing these up delays Amazon listings and retailer onboarding.

Class A vs Class B

Industrial vs residential emission limits change both lab cost and where you can market the device. Align US FCC class with EU EMC environment choices early — see Class A vs Class B and EMC Directive basics.
