Certification by the South African authority ICASA (Independent Communications Authority of South Africa) enables manufacturers of products with radio technology to access the South African market.
The scope of testing for ICASA certification relates to the requirements for CE marking based on the Radio Equipment Directive and national specifications.
Generally, no testing is required in South Africa for such certification, but a local contact person must be involved in the certification process. A manufacturer should allow ten to twelve weeks for approval.
