Your FCC ID has to be on the plate before it ships.
If your product has radio, wireless or a digital clock inside it, the plate has to carry an FCC ID and an exact sentence set by the Federal Communications Commission. Send us the plate you plan to use. We send back what it should carry, and what yours is missing.

The sentence has to be word for word
The compliance statement is set text. It is not a summary you may shorten, and it is not something your contract manufacturer will fix for you. If it is wrong on the artwork, it is wrong on every unit in the container.
A new product is the hard case. There is no old plate to copy, and the ship date does not move.
What it should carry
The FCC ID, in capitals, on one line. The exact Part 15 sentence. Both checked against the published rule.
The small-device trap
If the plate is too small to hold the sentence, the rule does not excuse you. It tells you where else it has to appear.
Two-part products
Sold as two boxes on a cable? The statement goes on one of them, not both. We tell you which.
The rule we check against
47 CFR 2.925 and 47 CFR 15.19, read in full from the government's own copy on 20 September 2026. Every line on your page names the part it came from and the date we read it.
What we do not do
- We are not a testing house, a certification body, or a law firm.
- We do not approve or certify anything. Nobody can hand you compliance on paper.
- We read the rules and your plate, and we show you the gaps in plain words.

What we checked on it
SAMPLE
Made-up example only. The real checklist depends on what you are shipping. Every line names the rule it came from and the date we read it.
What it costs
Send the plate you plan to use. We mark up what is missing.
For anyone on the early-access list before 31 December 2026.
One product, one checked page, both FCC rules, every line sourced.
Set against what you are already spending. Testing a Bluetooth product for the Federal Communications Commission runs about $1,000 to $4,000, and a Wi-Fi product $6,500 to $12,000. The plate is the one part of that job the test lab does not check for you. The FCC's base penalty for marketing an unauthorized model is $7,000, and one retailer paid $20,000 over devices that shipped without the FCC ID label and the compliance statement.
The founding price holds for anyone who joins the list before 31 December 2026. After that it goes to the standard price above.
Prices are in United States dollars. The paid step opens when the tool does. Nothing is charged before then, and joining the list costs nothing.
If it is not useful, do not pay. Tell us within 48 hours of getting your page and there is no charge. See the terms.
