Category: Technology Standards
In an ICT regulatory framework, the Technology Standards category ensures that all hardware, software, and network equipment used within a country meet specific technical requirements. This section acts as a quality control hub, ensuring that devices are safe for consumers, compatible with national infrastructure, and efficient in their use of shared resources like the radio spectrum.
Without these standards, the market would be flooded with poor-quality devices that could cause electrical interference, drop calls, or even pose physical safety risks to users.
ICT Equipment Type Approval is a mandatory regulatory process that ensures all Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Radio-communication equipment meets specific technical, safety, and quality standards before it can be imported, sold, or used within the country.
This process involves the verification of equipment—such as mobile phones, wireless routers, and satellite receivers—against international and local standards to ensure they are compatible with public networks and safe for public use.
