It looks like you're selling your own control board PCB design as part of the kit. I'm guessing that it doesn't have Wifi by itself, so that would make it an unintentional radiator under FCC rules. How did you deal with EMI testing and certification? Can you recommend any services or labs? Would you be willing to share how much it cost? I'm asking because I am considering publicly selling prototypes of my 3D sound hardware, but the regulatory stuff has so far prevented me from doing it.




There are loopholes for kits if it acts like a subassembly: https://emcfastpass.com/fcc-rules-kits-subassemblies/

Yes, but my understanding would be that this kit is not a subassembly, because the user is expecting to end up with a full product after assembly.

Have you seen the opulo yt video on this?

Not yet, thanks for the pointer.
