On Sept 21st, Botswana Communications Regulatory Authority issued a public notice where they notify about the implementation of the cessation of renewal Type Approval Certificates.
- Effective from July 30th, 2020, BOCRA type approval certificates will not have an expiry date.
- All those entities in possession of Certificates with expiry date should come to BOCRA or email requesting to be issued a new certificate without an expiry date, should they wish to continue distributing the equipment. They should make this request 3 months before the expiry dates.
- The interested parties are reminded that any variations or upgrades of equipment, where such upgrades impact equipment safety, EMC, spectrum use, and standards would still require a new Type Approval application.
