in the US, Regulatory-wise, how would a product be viewed that's essentially a raspberry pi in a box? Would it need FCC certification at all?
There are also safety concerns, temperature and humidity testing, and so on to consider.
Think of it this way: If current runs through it, you need to cert it. Period.
Edit: I think the Pi might already have FCC so if you are NOT electrically altering the Pi in anyway, then you won't need to re-cert (as you are essentially installing software on it and for a consumer device FCC doesn't have ESD requirements).
For CE, depending on the directive, you'd need to do ESD (adding a box will alter that).
