1. Introduction to South Africa Telecom’s ICASA Certification
ICASA: For wireless communication equipment exported to the South African market, it is necessary to apply to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) for type certification, and only after passing the review can it be sold. This is also equivalent to the domestic network model approval. To apply for South Africa’s ICASA certification, it should be noted that ICASA certification can only be issued to local registered companies or representative offices in South Africa. Therefore, domestic manufacturers’ applications for ICASA are best done by local importers, but testing can be done domestically.
