Yes and No. Depends on where you plan to sell it. Some countries will accept FCC, others require more stringent testing. As for the previous posts, you will need approvals for your commercial product. Period. If the FCC determines a product you are selling exceeds the limits, you are not only required to fix it for new builds, you must fix shipped products, you can be fined big time, goto jail, etc. As far as safety goes, UL for some countries, CSA for others, TUV, and JATE to cover others. Safety testing is required even with a wall wart. Flamability, access to dangerous voltages in the event of damage (as I recall they drop a 2.2lb steel ball 48 inches on all surfaces of the unit, including connectors) are among the things looked at. In some areas of the USA, you are not even supposed to plug in a device that isn't UL approved (local law).
