Hi Guys, wondering how difficult it would be to get FCC 15 clearance for any smart device we build using the SPARK Cores. Appreciate any inputs on this. Thanks, Sriram

I guess this is probably one for Zach, but is the Part 15 paperwork available somewhere. I looked in in the design area on GitHub and I could not see anywhere where it would obviously be (PDF’s would be the logical place). In terms of EMC, it is not only the WiFi module that can be an issue, but al…

Hi all, it’s my understanding that as soon as I connect any additional electronics (such as an LED strip) this is no longer the case. But this is not my area of expertise, so I could be mistaken. Can anyone point to a reference that clarifies one way or another? thanks in advance.

@matt_ri there are basically two types of certification that matter: intentional radiator (i.e. an RF transceiver) and unintentional radiator (i.e. something that might emit RF by accident rather than on purpose, such as a microcontroller). As far as certification goes, we’ve got you covered for the…

Got it! That’s what I thought. Thanks for clarifying.

Hi, Hope you don't mind me digging this up, as searching in the docs yielded 4 generic results. I'd like to know the specifics of the FCC/CE/IC certification. I've seen other players in the space I'm looking at entering list the following type of material in their docu: The [product] Contains Tr…

Hi, bump @BDub @zach This is pretty important for me, about to move into production. Further information is it seems in Australia you require to be registered as a supplier with the ACMA. I’d really love someone from Particle who knows certification etc to a provide the FCC details as well as comm…

Hey @mterrill - I’m bringing @will into the conversation because he’s the one who has done the certification on the Photon. We have a stub of a section of our documentation dealing with certification: https://docs.particle.io/guide/how-to-build-a-product/manufacturing/#6-product-certification-em-c…

Hey guys! I had just made a note in my to-do list to build out this section in the Guide before seeing Zach’s post. I’ll put more language together by the end of this week. As far as your question about 12V sensor devices, the safe answer is that you probably need some sort of recertification, but…

@mterrill here is that follow-up documentation I promised, by the way. Will continue building it out over the next week as we collect more documentation in a single place. https://docs.particle.io/guide/how-to-build-a-product/certification/

Is it easy to get FCC certification for a device using the Spark Core?

@BDub and @mohit might be able to give more information.
