FCC stands for the “Federal Communications Commission.” For smart hardware, FCC certification means the product has been tested and meets U.S. standards for electromagnetic emissions and radio frequency interference. This ensures that the device will not interfere with other electronic devices and communication systems.
CE stands for “Conformité Européenne,” meaning European Conformity. This certification indicates that the product complies with the essential safety, health, and environmental protection requirements set by the European Union. It allows the smart hardware to be sold throughout the European Economic Area.
UKCA stands for “UK Conformity Assessed.” This mark indicates that a product meets the relevant health, safety, and environmental protection standards required by UK legislation. Since the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, the UKCA mark has replaced the CE mark for products placed on the Great Britain market (England, Wales, and Scotland). It applies to a wide range of products, including smart hardware, machinery, and consumer goods, ensuring they are compliant with UK-specific regulations.
EAC stands for “Eurasian Conformity.” This certification mark indicates that a product meets the technical requirements set by the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which includes countries like Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan. Similar to the CE mark in Europe, the EAC mark shows that the product complies with safety, quality, and other regulatory standards necessary for legal sale and distribution within the EAEU region.
OFCA stands for the “Office of the Communications Authority” in Hong Kong. This certification indicates that a product complies with the technical standards and regulatory requirements set by Hong Kong’s communications regulator. For smart hardware and similar electronic devices, obtaining OFCA certification ensures that the product meets local standards for electromagnetic compatibility, radio frequency emissions, and overall safe operation in wireless environments, making it eligible for legal sale and distribution in Hong Kong.
MIC stands for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in Japan. This certification (often associated with the “Giteki” mark) indicates that a wireless or communication device complies with Japan’s technical standards for radio frequency emissions and electromagnetic compatibility. It ensures that the device operates without causing harmful interference with other communications systems and meets local regulatory requirements in Japan.
NBTC stands for the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, which is the regulatory authority in Thailand responsible for managing and overseeing telecommunications, broadcasting, and radio frequency usage. For smart hardware and other electronic devices, NBTC certification ensures that the product complies with Thailand’s technical standards regarding electromagnetic emissions, interference, and safe operation of wireless functionalities. This certification is essential for legal sale and distribution within the Thai market, ensuring that devices meet local regulatory requirements.
The “IP” in IP68 stands for “Ingress Protection,” and the two digits represent the level of protection against solid particles and liquids. Specifically:
• 6: Indicates that the device is completely dust-tight, offering full protection against the ingress of dust.
• 8: Signifies that the device can withstand continuous immersion in water beyond 1 meter deep, under conditions specified by the manufacturer.
This rating ensures that the smart hardware is highly resistant to both dust and water, making it suitable for environments where exposure to these elements is likely.
ROHS stands for the “Restriction of Hazardous Substances.” This testing ensures that electrical and electronic products comply with regulations that restrict the use of certain hazardous materials. Specifically, ROHS tests analyze the product to confirm that levels of substances like lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) do not exceed the allowed limits. This is crucial for reducing environmental impact and protecting human health, and it is often a mandatory requirement for products sold in regions such as the European Union.
