## AI overview

This article explains Wi-Fi certification for IoT products using ESP32 modules. It distinguishes Wi-Fi Alliance certification from regulatory certification such as FCC approval, describes when Wi-Fi certification is required, and outlines derivative certification using already certified ESP32-WROVER and ESP32-WROOM-32D modules.

## Source excerpt

A fair number of questions come up regarding Wi-Fi certification for Wi-Fi enabled IoT products. Here is an attempt to answer some of the relevant ones. Wi-Fi certification is a program by Wi-Fi Alliance that ensures that products that pass certification adhere to the interoperability and security requirements as laid out in the standard. It tests for protocol compliance.
