Important Update on the Type Approval Process in Yemen

Dual certification required for radio products

The type approval process for radio products in Yemen has changed significantly due to the current political situation.
Currently, two separate authorities are responsible for certification:

  • Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology (MTIT) – Sana’a

  • Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology (MTIT) – Aden

Both institutions operate independently and issue their own certificates for the regions under their control.


Key developments at a glance

  • In the areas controlled by Sana’a, certification is already mandatory.

  • In the regions administered by Aden, certificates have also been issued since early 2026; mandatory enforcement is expected in the near future.

  • There is no mutual recognition of the certificates.


Recommendation for companies

To ensure smooth importation and nationwide market access, it is necessary to apply for two separate certificates (Sana’a and Aden).
