Libya — GACI Type Approval & Certification

We help clients get their telecommunications and ICT equipment certified in Libya, in line with requirements set by the General Authority for Communications and Informatics (GACI).

Our team makes sure your devices satisfy both local rules and internationally recognized standards — covering radio frequency use, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and safety requirements that match closely with EU regulations.

What Our Service Covers:

• Validity Period: Once issued, Type Approval in Libya is good for five years before it needs renewing.
• No Samples Needed: You won't have to submit a physical unit — the process doesn't require product samples.
• Local Representation Requirement: A local rep is required to complete certification, and we take care of this obligation on your behalf so nothing escapes notice.
• Specialist Advice: Our specialists walk you through approval criteria, testing expectations, and what's regulatory required at each stage.
• Full Process Handling: From preparing documents to securing final approval, we manage the entire thing so you don't have to chase paperwork yourself.
• Clear Fee Structure: All government and regulatory fees are handled with full transparency — no hidden costs down the line.
• Continued Support: We stay involved after approval too, helping with renewals, updates, or any modifications needed to stay compliant as regulations change.

With more then 15 years of experience in this space, we've streamlined Libya's Type Approval process considerably — making it faster, more reliable, and far less of a headache for our clients. Let us handle the certification so your product can reach the market without undue delays.
