FCC certification is generally done at final product or module, not at silicon level. Since we only sell silicon and not complete solutions, TI does not certify with FCC.
Systems/products using our chips can be certified, but the customer is responsible for taking their product through FCC certification.
The Industrial device IWR1642 is similar to the Automotive device AWR1642. AWR1642 is planned to have a device variant that is safety-capable for ISO 26262. Safety-related documentation (FMEDA, Safety manual) to aid customers in obtaining certification can be provided under NDA for this device. Also, the safety-capability will apply to the Radar Subsystem (a.k.a. BSS) firmware which is provided by TI. The rest of the mmWave SDK and demonstration software and tools provided are not safety certified (only provided as a reference) so instead customers could use third-party tools and software that have been certified. There will be other Industrial devices in the future that will be safety-capable for IEC 61508, but there is no plan to investigate IEC 61508 capability for IWR1642 so that would be left to the customer if desired.
