SONCAP and PVoC certificates don’t cover radio approval. Phones, routers, Bluetooth and IoT devices also need telecom type approval in each country, mainly from Nigeria’s NCC, the Communications Authority of Kenya and South Africa’s ICASA. PCN reuses one set of test reports to file in several countries at once.
| Nigeria: NCC | Accepts international test reports; sample and DoC usually required |
|---|---|
| Kenya: CA | Type approval alongside KEBS PVoC |
| South Africa: ICASA | Via a local registered entity; separate from NRCS |
| Egypt: NTRA | Equipment approval |
| Others | TCRA (Tanzania), UCC (Uganda), NCA (Ghana) |
No. NCC approval is separate.
Yes.
Typically 4–8 weeks.
Requirements, portals and fees change often. PCN confirms the applicable rules for each product before quoting. Certificates are issued by the relevant authority, accredited certification body or notified body.
