FCC certification
FCC certification is a must in the U.S. It's for electronic and electrical products that send out radio waves. The FCC checks these devices to make sure they don't mess with radio signals and meet certain standards. Having an FCC certificate means a product has passed FCC tests. It doesn't mean it's safe or lasts long. It just shows it meets rules for radio waves and some technical standards.
