Type approval in Trinidad and Tobago

TATT approval in Trinidad and Tobago refers to the approval granted by the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT). TATT is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors in Trinidad and Tobago, ensuring that these sectors operate in a fair and efficient manner while complying with the country's laws and regulations.

TATT approval is typically required for activities such as:

Telecommunications Services: Companies seeking to offer telecommunications services

(e.g., mobile, internet, fixed-line) must get approval from TATT. This includes obtaining

licenses to operate within the country.

Broadcasting Services: Entities wishing to provide television or radio broadcasting

services need to seek TATT's approval and licenses.

Equipment and Devices: In some cases, approval from TATT is required for the

importation or operation of telecommunications equipment and devices, such as

wireless devices, transmitters, and broadcasting equipment, to ensure they comply

with technical standards.

Spectrum Usage: For any entity that intends to use radio frequency spectrum (for mobile communications, broadcasting, etc.), TATT approval is necessary to ensure proper allocation and management of spectrum resources.

Consumer Protection: TATT is also responsible for approving consumer protection mechanisms in the telecommunications sector, such as service agreements, pricing, and quality of service.

Type approval in Trinidad and Tobago requires acceptable FCC or CE reports. This country is moving away from certifying host devices and towards modular approval. This is still being reviewed. They are currently accepting applications for modules that can be separated from the device. For devices in which the RF component is fully embedded (i.e. manufacturer purchases a chip, embeds on CB to create a "radio module" versus a stand alone RF module, the review has not been completed. As of November 2024 TATT is still approving host devices.

Lead time is approximately 8-12 weeks from the time all documents have been collected.

The TATT certificate is valid for 5 years.
