30-second compliance self-check

This tool runs entirely in your browser — we never collect your product details. Choose a product type and a destination market to see what usually applies.

Compliance self-check

Product type + destination market → applicable certifications, test items, timelines & costs

Why this site exists

Products rarely fail in the factory — they fail at the border

Every point below comes from real exporter cases and industry research. They are the exact places where good products lose the most time and money.

6+ mo

From rules to market entry

Exporters often spend six months or more just mapping destination-market rules before a product can launch — and most never had a clear checklist to start from.

CE ≠ global

One mark is not a passport

CE only works in the European Economic Area. North America needs FCC/UL, Korea KC, Australia RCM, Middle East SASO/ECAS — each is separate. Reusing one report gets goods stopped at customs.

Module ≠ product

A certified module still needs re-testing

A pre-certified RF module only covers itself. Change the antenna, PCB or enclosure and the finished device's emissions can exceed limits — full-device testing is still required.

3–6 mo

Cert lead time vs 1–2 mo order cycles

Some marks take 3–6 months, but orders ship in 1–2. Goods arrive before certificates do — then sit at port for 2–6 months at $50–200/day demurrage, or get returned at 15–25% of value.

47%

Recalls & takedowns are routine

China-made goods made up ~47% of EU RAPEX safety-recall notices (2023). In the US, missing FCC certification can mean listing removal plus fines from $10,000.

Compliance drives most disruptions

McKinsey: 78% of exporting factories hit a major disruption in year one, and 45% traced it to compliance. USITC recorded 1,376 China-export batches detained for safety non-compliance in 2022 (+19%).

Two learning tracks

Understand the "what" and the "why"

Both tracks feed the self-check — when a regulation shows up in your result, you can open it here and actually understand it.

Reliability Testing

Why products are "stressed" before they ship: EMC, environmental reliability, HALT/HASS and the standards behind them (IEC 60068, MIL-STD-810, CISPR, IEC 61000-4).

  • EMC — emissions & immunity
  • Environmental — temperature, vibration, salt spray, IP
  • Standard map: IEC 60068 / MIL-STD-810

Certifications

From FCC and UL in the US to CE/UKCA in Europe and CCC, PSE, KC, RCM across Asia-Pacific — what each mark means, what it costs, and how to plan for it.

  • The major marks, explained
  • Test items, timelines & typical cost
  • Official sources for every scheme
