Type Approval for Niger

Type approval procedures in Niger are regulated by the Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et de la Poste (ARCEP). The conformity requirements are basically identical to those of the European Union (Declaration of Conformity according to EU Directive 2014/53/EU). We are supported by a local partner who directly cooperates with the authority in Niamey whereby certificates can be acquired within a short processing time. The homologation process in Niger does not require local laboratory testing or contact with local representatives. Certificates have a limited validity of 10 years and approved products are subject to mandatory labeling. If you have any questions regarding the conformity requirements in Niger, please do not hesitate to contact us.
