The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) published a Type Approval standard update to ensure maximum interoperability and affordability for consumers. The standards set by the NCC are based on international standards from The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and its International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR), The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
All equipment manufacturers, vendors, and operators, including customer devices such as mobile phones and wireless adapters, must ensure that their equipment conforms to the applicable standards as mandated by the Commission before bringing them into Nigeria.
