Type Approval for Nicaragua

Type approvals in Nicaragua are regimented by TELCOR, the Instituto Nicaragüense de Telecomunicaciones y Correos. The approvals of Radio equipment are based on American (FCC) standards or European (EU) standards for smooth market access. IB-Lenhardt AG cooperates directly with TELCOR in Managua, which means that certificates of conformity can be obtained in the shortest possible time.
The homologation process in Nicaragua requires neither local laboratory tests nor contact with local representatives. The certificates have an unlimited validity period, which minimizes the effort required of the manufacturer to obtain a certificate of conformity. There are also no additional product labeling requirements. If you have any questions about the conformity requirements in Central America, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our competent and trained team will be happy to assist you with product certification and applicable standards.
