This framework outlines the procedures to be followed and requirements to be fulfilled by equipment suppliers seeking to register their telecommunication equipment for sale and use. Details are given in the document entitled "Guide for Registration of Telecommunication Equipment".

Equipment registration is based on the submission of the Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC). The SDoC signifies that the supplier has carried out  conformity assessment on the equipment to IDA's Standards. The supplier declares equipment conformity based on results of conformity assessment, supported by test reports and technical documents.

IDA accepts test reports, which present test results of equipment testing done according to IDA's Standards by (i) testing labs recognised by IDA under a phase I mutual recognition arrangement; (ii) testing labs accredited by accreditation bodies recognised by IDA; or (iii) equipment manufacturers.

IDA also accepts equipment certification by local or foreign certification bodies recognised by IDA under a phase II mutual recognition arrangement.

Registration of Telecommunication Equipment

With effect from 23 July 2007, IDA introduces an enhanced equipment registration process for ISM-band short range/low power devices (SRD/LPD).  This simpler process is not only free-of-charge but is also immediate in giving the equipment approval.

The following online registration forms are available via http://tls.ida.gov.sg

• Equipment Registration for ISM-band SRD/LPD (from 23 July 2007)
  For any type of SRD/LPD operating in the authorised ISM-band and transmitting at or below 100mW EIRP
  
  
• Telecommunication Equipment Registration
  For any type of telecommunication equipment
