Mouse Manufacturers

Certification Requirements for Wired and Wireless Mouse

Mouse manufacturers selling wired and wireless mice in the global market must ensure compliance with the regulatory standards of various countries and regions. Here is a summary of the necessary certifications for wired and wireless mice in some major countries and regions

1. Wired Mouse Certifications

Country/Region	Certification	Description
USA	FCC (Federal Communications Commission)	Ensures electronic products do not interfere with wireless communications.
EU	CE (Conformité Européenne)	Meets EU safety, health, and environmental requirements.
China	CCC (China Compulsory Certification)	Ensures products meet China’s safety and quality standards.
Japan	VCCI (Voluntary Control Council for Interference)	Controls electromagnetic interference.

2. Wireless Mouse Certifications

Wireless mouse require additional certifications due to their use of wireless communication technology, ensuring that their radio frequencies do not interfere with other devices.

Country/Region	Certification	Description
USA	FCC ID	Ensures wireless devices do not interfere with other wireless communications.
EU	CE (including RED Directive)	Meets the EU Radio Equipment Directive.
China	SRRC (State Radio Regulatory Commission)	Wireless devices must pass tests by the State Radio Regulatory Commission.
Japan	TELEC (Telecom Engineering Center)	Ensures wireless devices comply with Japan’s Radio Law.
South Korea	KC (Korea Certification)	Wireless devices must pass Korea Certification.

Importance of Certifications

• Legal Compliance: Obtaining the necessary certifications is a legal requirement, avoiding legal risks and potential fines.
• Market Access: Many retailers and distributors require certified products to be sold.
• Consumer Trust: Certification marks enhance consumer trust and willingness to purchase.

Mouse Certification Project Case

This is an ODM project we are collaborating on with Mercedes-Benz Car mouse. They provide the design sketches, and we are responsible for 3D modeling, mold production, and certification. Here are the testing requirements they specified for reference.
