ARCEP Updates Rules for Equipment Approval

The national telecommunications regulator has formally confirmed the full enforcement of several key provisions introduced under its updated Type Approval Regulations and the recently issued implementation Decision.
According to the regulator, three areas are now subject to strict and systematic application. These include sample submission requirements—particularly for terminal devices that require physical evaluation—clear demonstration of data protection and information security obligations, and compliance with mandatory type-approval labeling rules.

The regulator clarified that these requirements apply uniformly to both new type approval applications and those already under review. As a result, all applicants are required to align their submissions with the updated regulatory framework to ensure continued compliance.

Niger Revises Rules on Radio Equipment

Niger’s Ministry of Communications, Postal Services and Digital Economy has issued Order No. 10/MCP/EN/SG/DL, establishing new conditions for type approval of radio equipment and installer licensing. The Order replaces earlier regulations from 2005 and 2015.

Under the new framework, all terminal and radio equipment imported or manufactured for the Nigerien market must obtain approval, except for devices used solely for audio broadcasting reception and equipment for defense or public security. Approved equipment receives a type approval certificate valid for three years, renewable if requirements are met.

The Order also sets a two-year renewable, non-transferable license for installers, with penalties introduced for selling unapproved equipment or improper installations. The Regulatory Authority will define and update applicable standards annually in line with international norms.
