It seems that you are mixing the terms. nRF52832 is chip which is not certified for anything (except material analysis for future CE) because it doesn't make sense without external components such as tuning and antenna. Yes, you can get pre-certified modules and that will help you with the process BUT then you need to address all the questions to module manufacturer not this forum. In addition you need to check local regulations in each country where you want to sell your final product and e.g. in the US as far as I understand usage of pre-certified components (such as radio modules in the can) don't automatically mean that you could ship the final product without going through certification again. In every case you don't want to base such critical business decisions on the advice from semi-anonymous internet forum, hire some consultant with 10+ years of experience. It will pay off.
