The Problem
Every market has different certification requirements. Missing a certification delays your launch. Getting it wrong means re-testing, re-sampling, and re-paying. Discontinued components after certification mean starting over.
DIGCUE’s Solution
We manage the certification process as part of product development — not as an afterthought.
Certifications We Handle:
| Market | Certification | What It Covers | Typical Cost | Timeline |
| Korea | KC | Battery/electrical safety | USD 3,750 (TWS) | ~6 weeks |
| Korea | KCC | Bluetooth RF, EMC | Varies | ~4 weeks |
| EU | CE / RED | Radio equipment directive | USD 2,000–4,000 | 4–6 weeks |
| USA | FCC | Radio frequency emissions | USD 2,000–3,500 | 3–5 weeks |
| Japan | MIC (TELEC) | Radio compliance | USD 2,500–4,000 | 4–6 weeks |
| Global | UN38.3 | Lithium battery safety | USD 800–1,500 | 2–3 weeks |
| Various | RoHS / REACH | Chemical compliance | USD 500–1,500 | 2–3 weeks |
Our Certification Management Process:
Pre-certification review: Before development begins, we identify all required certifications for your target markets and flag any component risks (end-of-life chips, non-certified batteries).
Sample control: Certification samples are produced from the same production line and BOM as mass production. We never submit hand-built samples that differ from actual output.
Component lifecycle monitoring: If a chipset or key component faces discontinuation, we alert you immediately — before certification, not after.
Documentation management: All test reports, certificates, and declarations of conformity are organized and delivered in a format ready for customs and platform uploads.
The Biggest Certification Mistake:
Certifying a product, then changing a component during mass production. This invalidates the certification. DIGCUE locks the BOM before certification and monitors component availability throughout the product lifecycle.
Who This Is For
Brands entering new markets and unsure which certifications are needed
Sellers who have been burned by certification failures or re-testing costs
Companies launching products in multiple markets simultaneously
