Thanks for the awesome video again, and for listening to our suggestions! This was super useful!

That was great ! Thank you for the in depth explanation of the required certifications and for clearing many things up ! Especially after the last bonus tip : there is hope ! 🤗

Excellent! Thank you!

That is awesome specially last bonus tip otherwise, I assumed that businesses are much harder. Where we can have FCC intentional radiators classification and how much units are excluded for sales trial?

thanks a lot for this great illustration 😊, i have designed a product and it contains wireless functionality (GPS and 4G antennas) would you please recommend a 3rd party company to test these antennas performance for me and suggest for fine tuning ?

Great video thank you.

Great video! One question about the sales test: do I have to declare these products as part of a test? These sales test units won't have a proper FCC ID, and so in theory could be cited by the FCC, correct? Is there some sort of an official declaration or paperwork that should be shipped with the product? Thx!

Fantastic video. This was exactly what I was looking for! If your design uses a lithium battery what what certification would you need to for small sales tests?

Thank you so much, this was incredibly helpful! I assume the bonus tip also counts for devices that run off a certified 12V wall charger/supply?

Thanks for a very instructive video. Can FCC emissions certification be avoided if the MPU clock, even if greater than 9KHz, comes from an internal oscillator (i.e. on the MPU die or at least within the device package), is not exposed on a device pin, and by (software) design, no device pins will toggle above 9KHz?

What if its IR instead of RF? Excellent video too btw! very clear!

Hey John! I loved te bonus tip & I can see in the comments that other people too! Quick questions: If the device is not certified, what is the process for the sale to customers? Would you suggest making a form or stating that the device is still a "protrotype" to raise awareness for the customer & derisk it for the entrepreneurs? Can the device be sold through normal sales channel (ex: through the companies standard website/e-commerce) or is there a recommended approach?

I'm wondering if you build a product, with parts that have already been certified, do you need to certify the end product ? Let's say I pre-built computers with off the shelf parts, does it need to be certified ?

Hi! Thank you so much for your video. I have a question for you that maybe you can help me. If I want to commercialize electronic components and printed circuit boards and sell them overseas, what type of certification do I need?

Thanks for the clarifiying video, it really helped making things about product certification clear. But what about the exemption from doing the certifications in case of small sales tests of few hundred units (in case of unintentional radiator and not connected to mains)? How this thing is regulated and what are the conditions? Can you please share any resources about this point?

So if I were to sell an RC car for instance, how much could I expect to pay in certification fees(roughly)?

Thanks for sharing this informations and simplifying it four us. Your courses aren't in my budget meanwhile the other content is helping me a lot. As you can tell if your academy is't in my budget the certification's arent eather. (I'm just high school student who wants to make a tiny affordable product four small market withou any considerable profits just to create a competition and drive prices down. Witch is possible if i don't need to pay the certification.) My product needs to be very small witch comprimizes use of esp32 modules so the product is going to fall under the intentional radiators category and i can't afford even certification four use of lithium battery. My initial idea was to sell the electronics and the enclosure as separate parts and does selling just component's witch, as i hope, do not need certification. Do you have any tips other than don't doing it?

Excellent presentation. What kind of safety certifcation do one for phone wall chargers. How much would it cost? I was about getting a wall charger for retail market and they need a safety complaince certificate for the peoduct. Does it worth do you have the cost and which company perfoms the tests

What's your opinion on ISCET certifications?

Is WEEE a certification and/or required? It's the trash can icon that's X'd out

Also, you mentioned that you are allowed to sell and ship these products under the first few hundred units without any certification?

What if your product consists of an already certified development board and an already certified sensor? Do you still need to go through a certification process?

Is there an international certification

Currently using an FCC certified ESP32. So for the device, you're saying I can wait until after I've made 100+ units before doing any certifications? And these 100 units, what level of molding should they be? We're planning on doing injection molding so is it ok to do the certifications after we've opened the mold (which we'll need to do to make the 100 units). Or is it risky to do certifications after started molding?

It's a shame that the barrier of entry of these certs keeps so many people from either launching their product or needing funding so high they loose control of their company. Especially now that getting pcbs and parts are so easy to get logistically.
