What is wireless device testing?
Wireless testing involves assessing that the device meets the government-specified performance of products incorporating wireless technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity. Wireless testing ensures wireless devices don’t interfere with one another and are safe to use. This testing procedure is also called EMI (electromagnetic interference) or EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing.
Why your product needs wireless device testing?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires proper authorization of all radio frequency (RF) devices before they’re sold in the US. Other countries like Canada, Europe and Australia have similar governing bodies that require authorization of wireless devices.
A device must be tested by an ISO 17025 accredited lab and certified by a Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB). The testing process ensures devices comply with FCC rules, such as human RF exposure limits and hearing aid compatibility with wireless handsets, and will not cause harmful interference. There are two authorization methods, depending on the device:
Certification: The most rigorous approval process, which requires testing by a TCB. After testing, information is posted on a public database.
Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC): While this procedure does not require an equipment authorization application or the posting of data in a commission database, the responsible party must still submit a test report.
Products from many markets require testing, such as automotives, industrial and household appliances and more. Failure to undergo proper testing procedures results in risks like imprisonment, monetary fines, product recalls and replacements and suspension of sales.
