Cambodia Enhances Regulatory Compliance for IT and Telecom Sectors

Stricter Guidelines for Type Approval

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA - In a bid to ensure the safety and functionality of electronic products in the Kingdom, Cambodia’s regulatory bodies have put in place strict guidelines for Type Approval under the Telecom Regulatory of Cambodia (TRC) and Industrial Standard of Cambodia (ISC).

What You Need to Know

  • Manufacturers, importers, and dealers of IT and telecom equipment must obtain approval from TRC before launching their products into the market.
  • Safety and functional test reports from international accredited laboratories are required for each application.
  • The regulations apply to a wide range of products, including mobile handsets, GSM/GRPS/GMPCS sets, Bluetooth devices, WLAN equipment, and radio frequency (RF) modules.

Fresh Approval Required for Changes

If a product or model changes, the manufacturer must obtain fresh Type Approval from TRC. This ensures that even slight modifications to existing products meet the latest safety and functional standards.

Additional Regulations for Electric and Electronic Equipment

ISC has also introduced regulations for electric and electronic equipment, which include personal computers and peripherals. The approval process involves applying directly through a local representative in Cambodia for each brand name and model, with safety and functional test reports required for each application.

Certification Validity

The certification is valid for three years, after which manufacturers must reapply for fresh Type Approval if they wish to continue selling or using their products in the Kingdom.

Experts Weigh In

“By implementing these regulations, we can prevent the importation and sale of substandard products that may pose a risk to public safety,” said an industry insider. Experts believe that these regulations will enhance consumer protection and ensure the quality of electronic products available in Cambodia.

As Cambodia continues to develop its IT and telecom sectors, regulatory compliance is becoming increasingly important. With these new guidelines in place, manufacturers, importers, and dealers must adapt to meet the changing requirements of the market.
