Paperwork your import file needs — and ours already has
Certificates are the trust currency of radio importing. Here is exactly what each market requires, what our models carry, and how our lab proves it.
Certifications by market
🇪🇺 European Union
CE RED is mandatory for any radio with intentional RF transmission. PMR446 models are type-approved for licence-free use; amateur models require the end user to hold an amateur licence. Declarations of Conformity ship with the order file.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
UKCA replaced CE marking for Great Britain. We maintain both marks on current production so one shipment serves UK and EU buyers without inventory splitting.
🇺🇸 United States
Licence-free models are certified under FCC Part 95 (FRS); amateur-class models are supplied under Part 97 end-user rules. Watch for suppliers presenting Part 15 certificates — that is the wrong part for two-way radio service.
How every radio is proven before it ships
A certificate proves the design. Our lab proves your units match it.
- 100% RF power and frequency verification on spectrum analyzers — every unit, serial logged
- Receive sensitivity and audio distortion sampling per batch
- Environmental sampling: thermal cycling and drop tests on new tooling and new batches
- Battery cycle-life verification: ≥500 cycles to 70% capacity on spec'd cells
- AQL 2.5 final random inspection with reports released before balance payment
How buyers verify documents (and how we make it easy)
The two most common import problems in this category are certificates issued to a different model than the one ordered, and "CE" claims with no test lab behind them. Our policy removes both risks by default:
- Certificate and matching test report are sent together, never the certificate alone
- Applicant and model number on the certificate must match your PI — check it, we do
- Documents shared under NDA during quotation, before any deposit
- Declarations of Conformity included in the shipping document pack for customs
