The Authority first published its Equipment Standardisation and Certification Framework in February 2008, and now updates the framework to reflect advancements in telecommunications technology, equipment and uses.
This Framework aims to ensure:
- Compliance with the recommendations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) that specify standards for telecommunications equipment.
- Compliance with standards established by relevant organisations, such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Conformite Europeenne (CE), and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), and declarations of conformity (DoCs) from recognised manufacturers.
- Compliance with the Authority’s various spectrum plans and standardisation frameworks.
- The establishment and enhancement of strategic partnerships amongst government entities with a stake in the importation, certification, and safety of equipment.
- Specification of the processes and procedures for obtaining equipment certification.
- The processes to assess locally developed radio frequency (RF) devices for use in Trinidad and Tobago are defined.
- There is awareness of, and adherence to, national, regional and international telecommunications standards by entities requiring equipment certification.
The Authority’s equipment certification process is guided by the Equipment Standardisation and Certification Framework for the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Sectors.
