SRRC Type Approval Certification – 2026 Real Costs

2026-03-04

SRRC certification is a mandatory step for wireless products sold in China. Many companies struggle with inaccurate budgeting due to unclear pricing information. In 2026, the overall fee structure remains stable with no major price increases. Actual costs depend mainly on the product itself. Below is the real cost structure and price range for common products.

I. SRRC Certification Cost Components

SRRC has no fixed universal price. Actual costs consist of three parts:

1.Annual Account FeeAll applicants must complete an annual account registration, with two tiers based on company size. This is a fixed, mandatory cost unrelated to testing or product quantity.

2.Testing Fees (Largest Portion)Charged by authorized labs. Price depends on:

·Number of frequency bands

·Product complexity

·Whether it is automotive or industrial gradeSingle-band, simple devices cost much less. Multi-mode, automotive, or 5G devices require more tests and cost significantly more.

3.Hidden CostsSample production, pre-testing, document preparation, and retesting/fixes. Pre-testing is highly recommended for multi-band or complex devices to avoid repeated testing fees.

Using pre-certified wireless modules without modifying the antenna or RF circuit can greatly reduce testing items and costs.

  II. 2026 Realistic Price Ranges for Common Products

·Simple low-power devices (BT remote, single-band keyboard/mouse): lowest cost

·Consumer electronics (smart band, BT speaker, single-band Wi-Fi): moderate cost

·Dual-band / Dual-mode devices (Wi-Fi + BT, smart home gateway): higher cost

·Automotive / 5G / industrial gateways: highest cost

Generally, simple devices cost within several thousand RMB; mid-complexity products fall in the middle range; high-end automotive, 5G, and multi-mode devices cost more.

  III. Key Factors Affecting Price

·Number of frequency bands: each additional band increases cost

·Pre-testing: avoids retest fees and delays

·RF design changes: using certified modules lowers cost

·Lab selection: focus on qualification and pass rate, not just low price

  IV. Practical Cost-Saving Tips

·Use pre-certified SRRC modules early in design

·Apply for series certification for similar models

·Prepare complete documents in-house

·Perform pre-testing for complex products
