For Bluetooth and party speakers, compliance is not one label or one certificate. In the United States, the starting point is usually FCC equipment authorization for the radio function. In the European Union, the starting point is usually CE marking under the Radio Equipment Directive, supported by technical documentation and an EU Declaration of Conformity. RoHS, WEEE, Bluetooth SIG qualification, and lithium-battery transport compliance also matter, but they do not all serve the same purpose. Buyers who fail to separate these layers often make poor sourcing decisions.
