right, so then people will not buy your product because you don’t have the label and you cannot afford to pay 10K-20K to some testing lab while vc backed startups or big tech can… so it takes away any chance for you as a small guy to compete in the market. no thanks.

I don't see why a small shop can't do this. The testing should be supported by the government. You don't need to be a food scientist to get FDA approval to sell a cookie.
in consumer electronics people pay over 10k to get a simple device tested for EMC before slapping on CE and FCC.
