Electrical products in United States: scope, official sources and a practical sequence for checking market requirements.
Requirements may vary by product, intended use, importer and destination. Verify the current official rules for your specific shipment.
Scope
Distinguish intentional radiators, unintentional radiators and equipment outside radio-frequency rules. Assess wireless modules and the finished equipment separately.

Where applicable, determine the Certification or SDoC route. FCC requirements concern radio-frequency matters and do not replace all electrical-safety checks.
Check authorization markings, compliance statements and the responsible party. Check carrier conditions separately for battery-powered products.
