The Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) has stopped issuing Provisional Type Approval certificates
and will now only issue final Type Approval certificates.
Previously the applicant received a provisional certificate valid for 06 months before being issued a
permanent certificate.
With the new process the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) will issue the permanent certificate
upon completing review of the compliance folder and approval of the product.
Existing provisional certificates that have already been issued will follow the old process until all existing provisional certificates have been replaced by the permanent certificates.
