12-NOV-21

The Autorité de Régulation de la Poste et des Communications Électroniques (ARPCE) in Algeria has updated the Type Approval Procedure for Terminal Equipment and Radio Installations. Previous type approval regulation published in October 2019 remains valid, though the new regulation has introduced some changes:

  • Activity codes for manufacturing and importing these devices are still required, however the wording has been amended to allow for ongoing changes relating to importer activity codes. Eleos are aware that some manufacturers have encountered issues with not being able to submit applications due to ongoing activity code issues, though these should now have been resolved.

  • ARPCE requires importers of approved devices to advised ARPCE of the serial numbers and IMEI of the devices within one month of putting the devices on the market in Algeria.

The new regulation is in force immediately.
