Democratic Republic of Congo publish new Type Approval regulation Décision n°065/ARPTC/CLG/2019
Democratic Republic of the Congo Regulator – Autorité de Régulation de la Poste et des Télécommunications du Congo (ARPTC) – have now published Décision n°065/ARPTC/CLG/2019.
Validity periods have been defined depending on equipment type. Antennas and quipment operating in telecommunication networks and broadcasting transmitters will have a validity of 5 years and all other non-exempt equipment will have an approval validity of 2 years.
Décision n°065/ARPTC/CLG/2019 also confirms devices that exemptions from Type Approval are in place for various equipment, most notably radio installations exclusively composed of low power and short-range devices.
The new regulation also publishes new labelling requirements with approved equipment now needing an irremovable label indicating the approval number and date, identification of the model & batch or serial number, manufacturer or supplier identification and an indication if the device is intended to be connected to a public network or not.
