Some imported electronic products require an NRCS LOA prior to import or an ICASA Type Approval. Some importers are often unsure if their products require NRCS or ICASA approval. Applying for the wrong type of approval may lead to a waste of time and money.

As a rule, any equipment used to provide electronic communications, is subject to Type Approval by ICASA. This includes any equipment that uses WIFI or Bluetooth. Devices and equipment using WIFI and Bluetooth are many. These include commonly used devices or equipment such as wireless security cameras and related wireless equipment to android TV boxes.
