In today’s global marketplace, product certifications are more than just labels — they are the foundation of trust, safety, and market access. For video intercom systems, which serve as the first line of security for homes, apartments, and commercial buildings, compliance with international standards is not optional. It is essential.
At FARHD, every video intercom product we manufacture carries CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications — proof that our systems meet the rigorous safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental standards required for global markets. This is not just about ticking boxes. It is about delivering products you can trust, anywhere in the world.
What Do These Certifications Mean?
CE Certification – Your Passport to the European Market
CE marking is a mandatory conformity mark for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA). For video intercom systems, CE certification demonstrates compliance with several key EU directives:
- Low Voltage Directive (LVD) – 2014/35/EU: Ensures electrical safety, protecting users from electric shock, fire, and other hazards.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive – 2014/30/EU: Verifies that the device does not emit excessive electromagnetic interference and can operate without being disrupted by other equipment.
- Radio Equipment Directive (RED) – 2014/53/EU (for wireless models): Covers radio frequency performance, spectrum efficiency, and cybersecurity.
- EN 62368-1 Safety Standard: The core safety standard for audio/video and IT equipment, replacing older standards.
Without CE certification, video intercom products cannot be legally sold in EU member states. It is the foundation of market access for any manufacturer exporting to Europe.
FCC Certification – Required for the U.S. Market
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates electronic devices sold in the United States. For video intercoms — particularly those with wireless capabilities (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or radio frequency) — FCC certification is mandatory.
Key requirements include:
- FCC Part 15 Compliance: Devices must not cause harmful interference and must accept any interference received.
- FCC ID: A unique identifier assigned to each certified device model, which must be clearly displayed on the product and packaging.
- FCC Labeling: Products and packaging must correctly display the FCC ID.
Non-compliance can result in import holds, market removal, and significant financial penalties. For businesses selling video intercoms to the U.S., FCC certification is non-negotiable.
RoHS – Protecting People and the Planet
The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive — EU Directive 2015/863 — restricts the use of ten hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. These include lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and certain flame retardants.
RoHS compliance ensures that FARHD products are:
- Environmentally responsible: Free from restricted hazardous substances.
- Safe for users: Reducing exposure to toxic materials during use and disposal.
- Compliant with EU regulations: Required for all electrical products sold in the European market.
While RoHS originated in the EU, similar regulations now exist in many other markets, making RoHS compliance a global benchmark for environmental responsibility.
