Regulatory Authority

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) is the body responsible for regulating the telecommunications sector and managing the certification and type approval process for radio equipment.

Application Submission Portal

All applications for radio device certification and spectrum management must be submitted through the Automated Spectrum Management System (ASMS). This digital platform serves as the central hub for:

Submitting new type approval applications.

Processing and tracking the status of pending applications.

Receiving automated system notifications regarding certification progress.

System Updates and Reliability

ICASA has recently implemented system updates to the ASMS to resolve previous intermittent technical issues that affected application processing and notifications. Stakeholders are advised that the system is currently operational for all submission and processing activities. The Authority maintains continuous monitoring of the ASMS to ensure the stability, reliability, and availability of the application route for all manufacturers and service providers.
