On 14 January 2026, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of Lebanon issued Decision No. 3/2026, introducing amendments to the Equipment Type Approval Regulation under Decision No. 5/2009. The decision modernizes the regulatory framework by updating equipment classifications and technical requirements in line with current radio and telecommunications technologies.
The amended regulation expands coverage to include GSM (2G), 4G, and 5G technologies, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, IoT, and eSIM-enabled devices, while maintaining provisions for legacy and specialized equipment such as cordless telephones, amateur radio devices, drones, wireless microphones, and surveillance cameras. Annex 1 has been revised to reorganize equipment into four categories, ranging from basic cellular and analog devices to advanced, multi-technology equipment such as smartphones, VoIP systems, and digital PBX platforms.
Decision No. 3/2026 also reinforces technical compliance requirements for Network Infrastructure Equipment, mandating conformity with TRA-issued specifications and service license conditions. In addition, it introduces a mandatory “TRA Lebanon Type Approved” marking for all approved equipment and updates the administrative fees applicable to type approval and RTTE renewal applications.
Overall, the amendments aim to ensure regulatory clarity, technical compliance, and alignment with evolving telecommunications standards in Lebanon.
