FCC ID

FCC ID is the unique identifier the FCC assigns to each RF device authorized for US marketing, pairing a three-character grantee code with an assigned product code; the identifier keys every grant, test report and exhibit document in the equipment authorization corpus. Of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs, FCC ID Equipment Authorization Database (FCCID.io mirror) documents it in its listing.

In this catalog it shows up concretely:

• FCC ID Equipment Authorization Database (FCCID.io mirror) — Per-FCC-ID filing records with per-exhibit document listings; grantee-level rollups via the directory; web scraping delivery, quality score 9/10, free.
• FCC ID Search - Advanced Query Interface — Per-FCC-ID result rows; company queries roll up to grantee level; web scraping delivery, quality score 8/10, free.

This concept decides how records are identified and joined. Get it wrong and every downstream match inherits the error - usually silently.

2. Open FCC ID Search - Advanced Query Interface and compare the claim against the artifact - its own listing reports Per-FCC-ID result rows; company queries roll up to grantee level.

4. Get update cadence in writing: only 22.6% of the 1,744 cataloged datasets update daily, so "always current" needs evidence.
