Regulatory Updates For Syria

Syria STE label requirements:

There are no specific label requirements, however it is suggested that you use the CE Mark label guidelines.

The Syrian Telecommunications Establishment (STE) approval refers to the authorization or certification given by the STE, which is the government body responsible for regulating telecommunications in Syria. This approval is typically required for businesses or individuals to import, install, or use telecommunication equipment, devices, and systems in Syria. The STE ensures that all equipment complies with local regulations, standards, and security requirements.

For example, if someone wants to bring in telecommunications equipment like mobile phones, routers, or satellite communication devices, they would need to get approval from STE to ensure the equipment works correctly with Syria’s telecommunications infrastructure and adheres to the country's regulatory framework.

This process is important for maintaining control over the telecommunications sector, ensuring the quality and security of services, and preventing the use of unauthorized or harmful equipment.

Type approval in Syria requires acceptable CE reports.
Lead time is approximately 4-6 weeks from the time all documents have been collected.
Certificate is valid indefinitely.
