The Wi-Fi module, also known as the serial port Wi-Fi module, belongs to the transmission layer of the Internet of Things. Its function is to convert the serial port or TTL level into an embedded module that conforms to the Wi-Fi wireless network communication standard. The built-in wireless network protocol IEEE802.11b. Protocol stack and TCP/IP protocol stack. Nowadays, the wireless network is very developed, and there are wireless networks everywhere, and the export of this WiFi module to the EU area also needs to apply for CE-RED certification.
FCC-ID is one of the compulsory FCC certification models in the United States, which is suitable for wireless products with high technical difficulties. Products with wireless transmission frequencies, such as Bluetooth devices, WiFi devices, wireless alarm devices, radio receiving and transmitting devices, phones, computers, etc., need to apply for FCC-ID certification. The certification of wireless products is directly approved by the FCC TCB agency, and the certification certificate can be checked on the official website of the FCC in the United States.

The FCC divides the regulated products into two categories: A and B according to their usage conditions: Category A is products for commercial or industrial purposes, and Category B is products for household purposes. The FCC has stricter regulations on Category B products; this This is because home users generally lack the professional skills training of professional and technical personnel; and the electrical safety environment of the home is not as favorable as the office environment. Therefore, the safety requirements for products used by home users are more stringent than those used in commercial industrial environments.
The new directive will be implemented on June 13, 2016. Each member state must complete the legislative process by June 12, 2016.
