ICTA releases 2 telecommunication directives
In Mauritius ICTA has introduced two new directives. Both directives easen the import mainly of smartphones but the second effectively nullifies the need for type approval of BT and WiFi devices:
6.9 No Type Approval from the Authority is required for the importation and sale of devices equipped only with Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth® as exemplified below –
| Application | Devices equipped with Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth® |
| Automotive | Car infotainment systems |
| Consumer Electronics | Television set, CD/DVD players, Washing Machines, Refrigerators, Cameras, Home entertainment systems, Household appliances |
| PC Peripherals | Wireless Mouse, Keyboard, Touchpad, Microphone, Speaker, Printer/Scanner |
| Sports & Fitness | Sport equipment |
However, devices still need to be compliant with ICTA's requirements.
