Type approval procedures are regulated by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA). It is simply acceptable for the applicant to submit test reports of their products based on either European or US standards for the target market access facilitation within Tanzania. We help get our clients the certification in the shortest possible time. We are supported by a local partner, who directly cooperates with the authority in Tanzania. The homologation process in Tanzania does not require local laboratory testing or contact with local representatives.
