For manufacturers of smart pet feeders, every step from R&D and design to mass production and distribution is centered around "seizing the market". However, if the SRRC certification is ignored, even the best products may get stuck at the market launch stage. Especially for smart feeders equipped with wireless modules such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, SRRC certification is not an "optional bonus", but a mandatory "compliance threshold" required by the state. Without it, the product cannot pass the review and be listed on e-commerce platforms, and offline sales may also face sealing penalties due to non-compliance, directly causing the previous research and development and production investments to be wasted.

First of all, it needs to be made clear that not all pet feeders require SRRC certification. Only models with wireless communication functions must be made, such as smart models that can remotely control the feeding time via Wi-Fi and check the remaining food quantity via Bluetooth. Because such products emit radio signals, the core role of SRRC certification (certification by the National Radio Regulatory Commission) is to ensure that these signals comply with national standards, do not interfere with home routers, televisions and other devices, and also avoid occupying excessive spectrum resources. This is a mandatory requirement by the state. Products that have not passed the certification It is simply not allowed to be sold in the domestic market.

Let's talk about the SRRC certification process. It is rigorous and standardized as a whole, and it is basically impossible for enterprises to take a shortcut. The first step is to prepare the materials. You need to organize the business license of the enterprise, the product manual, the circuit diagram, the model of the RF components and the purchase list. The second step is to submit the application. You can either fill in the information independently on the SRRC official website or find a qualified certification body to handle it on your behalf, and pay the application fee at the same time. The third step is technical review. Staff will check each document one by one, such as whether the wireless parameters meet the frequency band requirements and whether the description in the manual is accurate. If there are any problems, they will promptly notify the enterprise to make corrections. The fourth step is sample testing. The enterprise needs to send the product to the laboratory designated by SRRC for testing items such as signal stability and electromagnetic compatibility. Only when all meet the standards can it proceed to the next step. Finally, after passing all the reviews, you will receive the SRRC certificate, which is valid for five years. After the expiration, you need to reapply for certification.

For consumers, recognizing the SRRC certification can effectively "avoid pitfalls" : feeders that have passed the certification have compliant wireless signals and will not suddenly interfere with the home network during use, providing greater security in use. For enterprises, SRRC certification is the "key" to legally listing their products on the market. Without this certification, not only can they not be listed on e-commerce platforms, but they may also face penalties from regulatory authorities.

So the next time you develop and produce smart pet feeders, don't just focus on polishing the surface functions. From the very beginning of the product design, you should plan the SRRC certification-related matters to ensure that all the materials are ready and the test is passed in one go. This is the key to the smooth and compliant launch of the product.
