F3 will review your product requirements and documentation to create a detailed Certification Test Plan. This will include testing requirements, which pre-scans should be done to ensure the device can pass, in addition to the pass/ fail criteria. It will include test factors like what the lab will expect, what your device needs to do, and any preparation of the sample devices. F3 ensures your device is ready for testing, will send prepared units to the test labs, and deal with any issues that come up. Once complete, you’ll receive the test results including pre-scans and the official certification results.
Pitfalls Avoided with CertShepard
- A lot of money can be wasted using an “FCC approved” radio module if it turns out certifications are required as a result of your product’s use-cases. We’ll ensure you know what you’re getting into so you can make the best choices.
- Product performance can suffer and costs can climb when radio performance is assumed and not rigorously tested.
- Product plans can be structured around certification misconceptions, causing product failure due to cost, time to market, features etc.
- Wasted time spent interacting with the test lab because the device and it’s documentation aren’t configured per lab requirements.
- Weeks can be wasted waiting to get devices tested only to find out it fails.
