Type approval in Uzbekistan

In Uzbekistan, MiTC approval refers to the certification or approval process managed by the Ministry for the Development of Information Technologies and Communications of the Republic of Uzbekistan (MiTC). This ministry is responsible for regulating, overseeing, and promoting information technology (IT) and communication infrastructure in the country. The Ministry of Digital Technologies was established by Decree No. PF-269 of December 21, 2022 of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

MiTC approval is typically required for various IT-related activities, such as:

Telecommunication Services and Equipment: Companies that wish to operate telecommunication services

or use specific communication equipment in Uzbekistan may need MiTC approval. This can include

licensing, registration, and certification of network equipment, communication devices, and software

solutions to ensure they meet local standards and comply with regulatory requirements.

IT Products and Software: If a company plans to introduce software products or technology solutions

(especially foreign ones) into the Uzbek market, MiTC approval may be necessary to confirm that the

product complies with national cybersecurity standards, data protection laws, and technical specifications.

Digital and E-Government Services: Companies or organizations offering digital solutions, e-government

services, or online platforms may need to seek MiTC approval to ensure they align with Uzbekistan's IT

regulations, privacy laws, and secure data handling practices.

Importing IT Equipment: For the import of technology or IT equipment, approval from MiTC might be

required to verify that the products meet national safety, security, and technical requirements before

they are distributed or used within the country.

Why is MiTC Approval Important?

MiTC approval ensures that technologies and services are secure, reliable, and compliant with Uzbekistan's laws, particularly around cybersecurity, data protection, and telecommunication standards. It also helps maintain a controlled and regulated tech ecosystem within the country.

MiTC type approval in Uzbekistan requires acceptable CE reports.
