There are no caster level checks to use spell-trigger items. This means that a first level wizard could employ a wand of fireball without any difficulty; he could use a staff of disintegrate equally well. Also note that you do not actually have to have a caster level to use a wand. A first level ranger can use a wand of Cure Light Wounds without difficulty, even though he does not gain a caster level until 4th level.
