Teensy 4.0 and 4.1 Microcontrollers are now fully compliant with FCC (Federal Communications Commission), ISED (Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada), CE (Conformité Européenne) certifications, and UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed). This achievement marks a major step forward in Teensy's ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, safe, and accessible technology and to further supporting the Teensy product line. From projects to prototyping to launching commercial products, you can now confidently incorporate Teensy microcontrollers knowing they meet the highest regulatory standards.
What Does Compliance Mean?
FCC, ISED, CE, and UKCA compliance ensures that electronic devices meet rigorous standards for safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental responsibility in the United States, Canada, and European Union, respectively. More specifically:
- FCC (United States): The FCC certification verifies that Teensy meets U.S. standards for radio frequency emissions and will not cause harmful interference to other electronic devices
- ISED (Canada): Similar to the FCC, ISED certification confirms that Teensy complies with Canadian radio and telecommunications regulations. It ensures the device operates without causing interference.
- CE (European Union): The CE marking is a manufacturer's declaration that a product conforms with EU-wide health, safety, and environmental protection requirements.
- UKCA (United Kingdom): UKCA certification indicates that a product meets UK (England, Scotland, and Wales) health, safety, and environmental requirements set out in UK law.
Why Is This Important for Teensy Users?
- Compliance means that Teensy devices have been rigorously tested to ensure they do not interfere with other electronic equipment and are safe for use in a wide range of environments.
- With these certifications, Teensy can be confidently used and sold in the US, Canada, and across the European Economic Area, making it easier for users and distributors to access and integrate Teensy in their products and projects.
- Users can trust that Teensy meets international standards for performance and safety, reducing regulatory concerns for commercial and educational applications.
