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.
