CE certification via Shenzhen

Certification without the runaround

Certification gets expensive when compliance problems surface late. An antenna change, noisy power supply, enclosure decision, or firmware issue can mean another lab visit, another PCB spin, and another delay.

We treat certification as an engineering task first. Before formal testing, we review the product, target markets, and likely test scope, then coordinate the lab work and documentation from there.

For qualifying IoT products, our Shenzhen lab route can also reduce testing cost and turnaround compared with the European quotes we commonly see.

Environmental Testing

Water ingress, vibration, temperature, and climate testing for products that need to survive the environment they will actually be used in.

Product Compliance & Market Approvals

CE/RED conformity, FCC equipment authorisation, and other regional requirements, managed from pre-compliance review through testing and documentation.

Fixed price, no hidden fees

One price covers everything: lab time, documentation, coordination. Up to 60% cheaper than traditional European testing labs.

CE, FCC & global markets

Radio Equipment Directive, EMC, safety, and battery testing for EU, US, UK, Canadian, and other major markets.

Full documentation & support

We handle scheduling, lab liaison, technical files, and final certificate delivery. Your team can keep shipping product.

Your IP stays protected

NDA available and signed back the same day. Your information goes to our partner lab and nowhere else.

What determines your certification path?

Two connected products can look almost identical and still need different compliance work. The route depends on where the product will be sold, what radios and power systems it uses, how it is built, and what environment it operates in.

What we look atWhy it matters

Target markets: EU, US, UK, Canada, and other markets follow different conformity or authorisation routes.
Wireless interfaces: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, LoRa, and other transmitters introduce RF requirements.
Pre-certified radio modules: They can reduce some work, but they do not automatically make the finished product compliant.
Power & batteries: Mains power, charging circuits and batteries can introduce additional safety and transport requirements.
Enclosure & environment: Waterproofing, vibration, temperature and intended use affect environmental test scope.
Product changes: Antenna, PCB, enclosure, firmware or component changes can affect previously completed compliance work.

Tell us what you're building

Tell us about the product, its radios, power source, and target markets. We identify the likely compliance route and flag anything we need to inspect before quoting.

Get a fixed quote within 48 hours

We confirm the test scope, documentation work, samples required, and expected timeline. If anything is unclear, we resolve it before the quote becomes final.

Review, prepare, and ship the samples

Where needed, we review the design before formal testing, prepare the documentation, and coordinate sample shipment to the appropriate lab.

Certificate delivered

We manage testing end-to-end. One free retest included if anything fails. You receive the final certificate.

What we handle, and what stays with you

We can manage the technical side of the compliance process: requirements mapping, pre-compliance review, lab coordination, testing, documentation support, and communication with the relevant certification or test partners.

The manufacturer or other responsible economic operator still retains the legal responsibility for placing the product on the market and completing the declarations required by the applicable regulations. We make that process easier to navigate, but we do not hide that responsibility in the fine print.

Fixed price. Free retest. Under two weeks.

One price covers everything. If a test fails, one free retest is included. CE for a standard IoT board usually clears in under two weeks through our accredited Shenzhen partner, at up to 60% less than European lab rates.

Disclaimer: Insyght performs due diligence in selecting and working with accredited testing laboratories and certification partners. However, the ultimate responsibility for verifying the accreditation status, test report validity, and regulatory compliance of any laboratory or certification body lies with the party placing the product on the market. Importers and manufacturers are advised to independently verify the accreditation of testing labs and the applicability of test results to their specific product and target market before making any regulatory submissions.

Frequently asked questions

How long does CE certification take?

Standard IoT CE certification is typically completed in under two weeks through our accredited partner lab, provided the design passes our pre-compliance review first.

Which certifications and tests do you handle?

We support CE/RED compliance, FCC certification, and other regional radio approvals, along with EMC, electrical safety, and environmental testing where applicable. This can include IP, vibration, and HALT testing through our lab partners.

Can you certify a product you did not design?

Yes. We can take an existing hardware design through the compliance process. We start with a pre-compliance review, identify the likely test scope, then manage the testing, documentation, and lab coordination.

What does IoT certification cost?

Cost depends on the product, the radios it uses, the required tests, and the markets where you plan to sell it. After a short pre-compliance review, we give you a fixed quote rather than open-ended hourly billing.

Should certification be considered early in the design?

Yes. Building compliance requirements into the PCB, antenna, enclosure, and firmware from the start is one of the best ways to avoid failed tests, redesigns, and expensive board re-spins.

Does using a pre-certified wireless module mean my product is already compliant?

No. A certified radio module can reduce part of the test burden, but compliance still applies to the finished product. Antenna choice, integration, enclosure, power electronics, and other parts of the final device can affect the required assessment.
