Notified body for EU and TCB for US

RISE is a Notified Body (NB) for Europe and a Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) for the USA.

Purpose

For the EU, manufacturers can obtain an EC type examination Certificate as proof of an independent review of their technical documentation for their CE marking of the product.

In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) defines the regulations for placing electrical products on the market. Here, the requirements are not in standards issued by standardization organizations, but instead they are enrolled in the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). The part that deals with EMC and radio requirements is called Title 47 Telecommunication.

The FCC has two approval procedures, Certification and Suppliers Declaration of Conformity (SDoC). For most types of radio transmitters, Certification applies with type approval via a Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB). Certification requires that a test report is issued by an FCC approved laboratory (FCC recognized laboratory). This means that accreditation according to IEC 17025 is not sufficient but is a prerequisite for being recognized.

For products that do not contain a radio transmitter, SDoC applies except for “exempted devices”. FCC only accepts test reports where the measurements have been performed according to FCC recognized measurement methods (ANSI standards) with US mains voltage (ex 120VAC / 60Hz). RISE is accredited and FCC recognized for the measurements required as a basis for SDoC.

In conjunction with measurements for the United States, the requirements for Canada can also be covered, since in most cases the same measurement methods also apply in Canada. RISE is accredited and "recognized" for several Canadian standards. The authority in Canada that handles the requirements for EMC and radio is called Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED).

RISE is, as the only organization in Sweden, appointed by the FCC to a TCB. This means that we can perform the certification required by the FCC for radio transmitters and obtain the grant of equipment authorization required to place the product on the US market.

RISE can also help with equivalent certification for Canada.

Notified Body - The manufacturer receives an independent review showing that the technical documentation of the product meets the essential requirements of the relevant Directive.

TCB - Manufacturer obtains a product certification, which is a prerequisite for placing the product on the market in the US.
