For FCC, LEDs lights (bulbs, tubes, lamps) using internal converters with a switching rate over 9kHz shall be tested for part 15B and authorized by the Verification procedure (only verification testing). As such, it is not allowed to print or use the FCC logo, and not appropriate to issue a DoC, neither possible to apply for Certification. Some consider LED as RF lighting, however part 18 devices are devices using RF energy to emit gaz, and this is not the case with LED lights. For more information, contact Teleconformity.
