Type Approval for Bahrain
Type approval procedures in Bahrain are regulated by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authoriy (TRA).
The conformity requirements are basically identical to those of the European Union with the Declaration of conformity according to EU directive 2014/53/EU. We are supported by a local partner, who directly cooperates with the authority in Manama, whereby certificates can be acquired within a short processing time. The homologation process in Bahrain does not require local laboratory testing or contact with local representatives. However, a product sample can be requested from the authority for viewing. Certificates have a limited validity period, currently three years and approved products are subject to mandatory labeling. Our competent and trained team will be glad to assist you with product certification and applicable standards.
