Type approval is a regulatory function that allows an equipment to be certified to have met basic or minimum technical and safety requirements so as to guarantee its usefulness and also to safeguard the consumer’s interest. For the purpose of these guidelines electromagnetic compatibility must also be assured. In particular, for example within the telecom’s sector, Type approval further:
Protects consumers from products that are non – compatible with the local telecommunications network, and ensures that the operating frequency of all radio communication equipment is as per the frequency spectrum allocation and that no harmful interference is caused to essential services and licensed service providers.
The Type Approval Policy will apply to all RTTE manufactured or imported in a respected country and needs to be checked and/or tested against that policy. Only when the results comply with the policy, a type approval certificate will be issued so that the product can be imported and marketed in that market.
The Type Approval Policy may vary from country to country and it covers all types of Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment. Such equipment is referred to collectively herein as Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (“RTTE”).
In telecommunications:
