Certification: How to handle inquiries about certification

In this article you can learn how WingtraOne is certified and how to handle the inquiries about it.

Sometimes our distributors or end-users will ask for specific certificates. In general, certification is legally required for selling electronic products. Certification indicates conformity with health, safety, environmental protection standards, and the correct use of radiofrequency spectrum (covering the use of the spectrum and associated interferences).
