It's not at all easy, hence my comment about cost.

Most of the costs associated lie with the manufacturer, and that's my main point. This is not a money-grabbing scheme as previously suggested.

Much like a new car's emissions systems, the law states you can only have XYZ emissions for a given type of new car. The costs of design and testing primarily rest with the manufacturer, any fees or permits is very small (or nonexistent) in the context of R&D.
