S. Africa ICASA Certification

Applicable Products:

ICASA is responsible for regulating the telecommunications, broadcasting and postal industries in the public interest and ensure affordable services of a high quality for all South Africans. It also issues licences to telecommunications and broadcasting service providers, enforces compliance with rules and regulations, protects consumers from unfair business practices and poor quality services, hears and decides on disputes and complaints brought against licensees, and controls and manages the effective use of radio frequency spectrum.

Introduction:

BROADCASTING:

We develop regulations for the broadcasting industry, issue licences to service providers, plan and manage the radio frequency spectrum, and protect consumers against poor-quality services.

LICENSING:

ICASA's Licensing and Compliance Division is responsible for the licensing of broadcasting services (including community, commercial, public and subscription) and electronic communications services. We are further responsible for monitoring and ensuring the compliance of these broadcasting and electronic communications services.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

In terms of telecommunications, our main responsibilities relate to licensing, consumer protection and telecommunication numbering.

Standards:

(1) The Authority recognises only standards issued by a competent standardisation body.

(2) The applicable technical standards for Equipment are found in the Technical Regulations.

(3) In the event where Equipment requiring Type Approval was tested to a standard which is not in the Technical Regulations, then such a standard must be technically identical to that determined by the Authority for such Equipment.

TEST REPORTS

(1) The Authority will accept only test reports that are issued by any ATL.

(2) Applicants must submit a test report in full and are not allowed to remove or modify any portion of the test report.

(3) A test report is only valid if it was prepared for the Equipment for which approval is being applied for and if no modifications have been made to the Equipment following the completion of the test report.

Others:

All Type Approvals will be valid for an unlimited period of time provided that no modifications have been made to the type approved Equipment, and provided that technical standard has not hanged to the extent that it does invalidate the Type Approval.

If the changes to the type approved Equipment are essentially cosmetic in nature (including, for instance, change in colour, external design, enclosure, etc.) and the technical information recorded in the Type Approval Register is unchanged, a new application for type approval is not required.
