Good Afternoon All! We are glad to see you back in the Listing Lounge.
At Amazon, we have a responsibility to provide our customers with the most up-to-date compliance information. Understanding FCC IDs and Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) is crucial for ensuring that our products meet regulatory standards while maintaining customer trust. Let's dive into the key components of FCC compliance that every seller should know.
An FCC ID is a unique identifier consisting of two elements:
- A grantee code: The first portion of the FCC ID, is either a three or five character alphanumeric string assigned by the FCC permanently to a company for use in the identification of radio frequency equipment authorized under the FCC certification procedure.
- An equipment product code: The second portion of the FCC ID that begins after the grantee code. The product code may include hyphens, dashes (-), or both.
The FCC ID is often preceded by the phrase “FCC ID,” and may appear on a physical label on the product or an electronic label (e-label). If the product is too small for a physical label and does not use electronic labeling, then the FCC ID may appear in the user manual and either the product packaging or a removable label attached to the product.
Information regarding a Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) may be located on a product or product packaging, or in an included manual or other documentation. SDoC information is often, but not always, proceeded with a heading that refers to “FCC Compliance,” and often refers to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
If you previously provided this information, it will still need to be added to the listing.
Seller Central provides a dedicated help page on: Compliance ID Attribute - FCC Radio Frequency Emission Compliance which can be found -->HERE<--
By ensuring your products are properly labeled with FCC IDs and SDoC information, and by accurately reflecting these requirements on your listings, you're not only complying with regulations but also building trust with your customers and strengthening your position as a responsible seller on Amazon.
Thank you for joining us this week in the Listing Lounge.
