What standards are used for CE certification of wireless WiFi products?

WiFi, or wireless fidelity, falls under the category of 'Wireless Compatibility Certification' in the realm of wireless local area networks. Essentially, it is a form of commercial certification as well as a wireless networking technology. Previously, computers were connected via Ethernet cables, whereas WiFi enables internet connectivity through radio waves.

The terms '2.4G' and '5G' in WiFi refer to frequency bands (GHz). 2.4G is a wireless technology, abbreviated from the frequency range of 2.400GHz to 2.4835GHz. 2.4G WiFi is based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, which operates within the 2.4GHz frequency band. On the other hand, 5G WiFi refers to wireless technology developed based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard, which operates in the 5GHz frequency band.
