Certification

how likely is it that this IC passes some of the important certifications? (FCC, CE, EN 300 328 1.8.1)

FCC module guidelines https://apps.fcc.gov/eas/comments/GetPublishedDocument.html?id=208&tn=830118

Three main requirements:
1) a shield over the RF path
2) integrated antenna
3) proper labeling

The modules I've seen are meant to be incorporated into a larger design and then that larger design would go through the FCC process. Similar rules apply to CE testing.

Approved modules look like this:
