FAC Certification and FAC Statement

According to the product category, FAC certification is divided into two forms: Declaration and Certification. The declaration type is valid for 3 years, while the certification type is divided into 1 year and 3 years (factory audit is required), and the application period is longer.

Several similar models, series or series can be specified in the FAC certificate;

Only a single model should be specified in the FAC statement - no series, no series, no similar models in the FAC statement.

Certification can be applied by local companies or foreign companies, but declarations can only be announced by locally registered companies and then submitted to FAC for approval.

FAC Modular Approval

Manufacturers can approve telecom built-in modules or end-user equipment, it doesn't matter legally. It depends on the manufacturer's choice. But approving end-user devices is a better approach. If the manufacturer only approves the module, in this case he has to provide some legal and design information to any officer, customer (eg importer, customs clearance, etc.) whose end user equipment includes a fully approved module. It can be difficult at times. If multiple models contain the same module, we can offer a discount for the registration statement.
