The chip is no where near being powerful enough to fail FCC. FCC limit for 2.4Ghz is 100mW. This is chip is about 20mW. It would need external PA before it has problems. All it needs is a shield, a test ($1000) and a sticker.

Do you have a link for CE rules like the one for FCC?
EDIT: I found this web page:
http://www.rtteca.com/html/download_area.htm
Not sure which one really applies, I will have to read them all!
Looks like TGN01 is the applicable one:

Yes, a rough estimate is $800~$1000 for CE/RoHS and $1500 for FCC from a reliable Chinese source. So it adds ~$2.50 for QTY 1,000, but only $0.25 for QTY 10,000...

$1.5k for FCC certification?! Mind sharing the name of your testing house? We're seeing prices on the order of $15-20k, with anechoic chamber rentals being on the order of $1k/hour alone.
