General Process
  1. Prepare Your Application – Work with an accredited and recognized test laboratory to evaluate your product and prepare the required technical documentation, including test reports and supporting exhibits.
  2. Submit for Certification Review – Submit your application package to NACS for review. Our certification team evaluates the documentation to verify compliance with applicable FCC and/or ISED requirements.
  3. Certification Decision – Once compliance has been confirmed, NACS issues the appropriate ISED Technical Acceptance Certificate (TAC) and/or FCC Grant of Equipment Authorization.
  4. Market Access – Following certification, the product may be marketed after its information is published on the FCC EAS and/or ISED REL/TAR.
  5. Ongoing Compliance – Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring continued compliance of certified products and for obtaining approval of applicable changes or modifications when required. Samples of the product must be provided to NACS and/or FCC/ISED for post-market surveillance when requested.
