Type Approval for Gabon

Type approval procedures in Gabon are regulated by the Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et des Postes (ARCEP). The conformity requirements are basically identical to those of the European Union (Declaration of Conformity according to EU Directive 2014/53/EU). We work with a local partner who directly cooperates with the authority in Libreville, whereby certificates can be acquired within a short processing time. The homologation process in Gabon does not require local laboratory testing or contact with local representatives. However, product samples are requested for inspection by the authority. Certificates have a limited validity period, currently two years and approved products are subject to mandatory labeling. If you have any questions regarding the conformity requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our competent and trained team will be glad to assist you with product certification.
