Americas · Country-wise certifications
US access for electronics usually means FCC authorisation plus practical NRTL safety listing demanded by retailers, AHJs and insurers.
Four GMA pillars for this market, plus local representation — verify against the live regulator list before quoting.
FCC rules cover radio and many digital devices (SDoC or TCB certification). Product safety is often an NRTL listing rather than a single federal mark. Children’s products add CPSC/CPSIA. DOE and FTC EnergyGuide, Prop 65 and state EPR create extra layers.
FCC, OSHA NRTLs, CPSC, DOE/FTC, state agencies (e.g. California Prop 65).
Filing tip: Separate intentional radiators from unintentional digital devices before quoting FCC — paths and lead times differ.
Each scheme below has unique guidance for this market. Open the full Certko certification page for catalogues, process detail and quotes.
US RF / EMC market access
FCC authorisation is required for devices that emit RF energy — deliverable is the correct SDoC or FCC ID path with labelling.
Exporters and US importers of wireless and electronic devices.
Workplace / retail safety certification
NRTL marks are not one federal law for all products, but AHJs, retailers and insurers commonly require them before US placement.
Brands selling mains-powered or hazard-bearing products through US channels.
No. FCC is RF/EMC. UL (or another NRTL) is product safety listing — many US-bound products need both conversations.
