Your product can’t enter many markets without certification. Understanding CE, FCC, and RoHS — and what your factory must provide — prevents customs rejections and fines.
Why Certification Matters
Certificates prove your product meets safety, electromagnetic, and environmental standards. Without them, customs can hold your shipment, and marketplaces can delist your listing.
CE Marking
CE is required for many products sold in the European Economic Area — electronics, toys, machinery, medical devices. It covers safety, health, and environmental protection requirements.
FCC Certification
The FCC regulates radio frequency and electronic devices sold in the US. Most electronics need FCC testing and authorization before import.
RoHS Compliance
RoHS restricts hazardous substances like lead and mercury in electronics. Compliance is mandatory for selling in the EU, with documented test reports required.
How to Get Certified
Ask your factory for existing test reports and certificates first — many already have them. If not, a certified lab (TUV, SGS, Intertek) can test samples and issue certificates. Factor cost and 2–4 weeks of lead time into your plan. Verify your product’s certification requirements with our experts.
