Bahrain - TRA Type Approval - Overview

In Bahrain, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) plays a crucial role in the Type Approval process for telecommunications and electronic equipment.

 

TRA Type Approval is a regulatory requirement that ensures all devices meet safety, quality, and technical standards before they can be legally used or sold in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

 

TRA assesses and approves these devices to ensure they do not interfere with the telecommunications network and comply with established regulations.

 

This process helps maintain a secure and interference-free communication environment in Bahrain, protects consumer interests, and promotes the use of safe and reliable electronic and telecommunications equipment in the market.
