What to look at for this product

If your bathroom scale uses a button cell, ask your factory for battery compartment testing evidence supporting the general certificate needed for the finished scale.

If your scale can operate while charging, ask your supplier for the emissions testing evidence you'll use to prepare its supplier declaration for US sales.

If your scale runs only on batteries, ask your factory for its highest operating frequency so you can check whether the equipment authorization exemption applies.

If your scale contains a battery that can't be removed, ask your supplier for the battery chemistry details needed for the California product marking requirements.

If your scale uses a supplier declaration, ask your factory for label artwork showing the FCC statements and US responsible party information for that model.
