CE is much worse than FCC. Maybe the US Market would work as a start? I can recommend Sunfire Testing for certification. They are used to working with hackers.

- anymouse123456 3y agoWe just had a great experience working with US TECH (https://ustech-lab.com https://ustech-lab.com). The price was reasonable (for what it is), the main contact was great, they were very fast and super flexible with our delays. I know they offer CE, but we just went for FCC on unintentional emitters. It wasn't nearly as challenging as we thought it would be. Expect to pay something around $2,500 to $5,000 depending on how labor intensive your tests are, or become.
- dom96 3y ago> Expect to pay something around $2,500 to $5,000 Yeah, that's what's discouraging. For something that is effectively a hobby project, spending many thousands of dollars is too much of a risk, when you're not even sure people will buy the thing you created.
- anymouse123456 3y agoAgreed. It's really frustrating. FWIW, I've done some digging and at least it's not just a mafia shakedown (like the USB-IF charging thousands for an artificially scarce numeral). The equipment and expertise are both expensive and time consuming. DIY is possible, but would cost considerably more. I'm a little surprised I haven't heard about a single start-up accelerator that has cert gear available...
- dom96 3y agoSadly I am in the UK. I guess I could certify it with the FCC anyway, but my aim was to sell locally initially.
