The National Information and Communication Technologies Authority (NICTA) of Papua New Guinea (PNG) has announced its intent to introduce two regulatory instruments under the National ICT Act of 2009.
The ICT Equipment Type Approval Rule outlines the requirements for approving, importing, selling, using, or connecting ICT equipment to PNG’s ICT networks, including obtaining PNG Customs authorization.
NICTA oversees the process of type approval and registration of ICT equipment under five distinct registration schemes categorized as follows:
Primary cell-operated equipment
Customer Equipment (CE)
Controlled Customer Equipment (CCE)
Low Interference Power Devices (LIPD) or Short-Range Devices (SRD)
Radio Communications Equipment
All type approval procedures, equipment registration schemes, and general guidelines must comply with the NICTA Type Approval Guideline.
