Russia's FAC certification is a mandatory certification system for wireless communication equipment. The cost is not a fixed value and depends mainly on the certification form, product category, and complexity of testing you choose.

FAC Certification Cost Structure:

  Key Factors Affecting Cost:

1.Choice of Certification Form: FAC certification is divided into two forms: Declaration of Conformity (Declaration) and Certificate of Conformity (Certification).

·Declaration of Conformity (Declaration): Applicable to lower-risk products, such as most wireless terminal equipment. The process is relatively simple, does not require a factory audit, and therefore costs less. Valid for 3 years.

·Certificate of Conformity (Certification): Applicable to high-risk or network equipment, such as base stations, switches, etc. The process is more complex, requires a factory audit, costs more, and has a longer application cycle. Validity is 1 year or 3 years (depending on the choice at the time of application).

2.Product Category and Testing Complexity: The technical complexity of the product directly determines the testing difficulty, number of items, and time required. For example, the testing cost for a Bluetooth speaker supporting only a single Wi-Fi band will be far lower than for a 5G smartphone supporting multiple bands and modes.

FAC Certification Process and Practical Advice:

1.Determine Product Classification: First, confirm whether the product belongs to Class A (requiring comprehensive testing, e.g., mobile phones, base stations) or Class B (applicable to simplified process, e.g., Bluetooth earphones).

2.Select Certification Body: Choose a body authorized by the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor).

3.Prepare and Submit Documents: Core documents include the test report (issued by a Russian accredited laboratory, in Russian or bilingual version), technical passport (containing circuit diagrams, RF parameters, Russian user manual), application form, etc.

4.Product Testing: Send samples to an accredited laboratory for testing.

5.Review and Certification Issuance: After the regulatory body reviews and approves, the FAC certificate is issued.

  FAC Certification Practical Advice and "Pitfall Avoidance" Guide

·Accurately Select Certification Type: If your product belongs to Class B, choosing the "Declaration of Conformity" can save significant time and money.

·Prepare Russian Documents Completely: All technical documents, especially the user manual, must be provided in professional Russian; this is a prerequisite for passing the review.

·Choose Reliable Partners: Be sure to select a qualified and experienced certification body, and confirm in advance that the testing laboratory has the necessary accreditation to avoid report rejection.

·Pay Attention to Associated Certification: Wireless equipment in the Russian market usually also needs to meet EAC certification requirements simultaneously; integrated planning is recommended.

How to Get an Accurate Quote

Since costs vary by product, the most accurate approach is to provide the certification body with your product's detailed specification sheet and technical parameters to obtain a targeted quote.
