The Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of the Republic of Azerbaijan (formerly MINCOM) is the national authority responsible for regulating telecommunications and radio equipment in the country. All terminal and radio equipment intended for sale, distribution, or use in Azerbaijan must obtain Type Approval from the Ministry to ensure compliance with local technical standards, spectrum regulations, and safety requirements.

These certifications are issued under the AZS (Azerbaijan National Certification System), the official national framework for product conformity in Azerbaijan. AZS defines the standards, accreditation procedures, and conformity assessment processes to ensure that products meet national safety, quality, and technical requirements across all sectors, including telecommunications.

All imported products such as pharmaceuticals, clothing, and food must hold at least a Safety Certificate.
Electrical equipment (e.g., household appliances) requires both Safety and EMC certification. Radio and telecommunication equipment must obtain full certification, including Safety, EMC, and RF (Radio Frequency) approvals.

According to Azerbaijani legislation, radio equipment imported into the country must be certified for the following key aspects:

• Safety (Electrical Safety) Certification: In accordance with the Law “On Technical Regulation”, any electrically powered device (including radar equipment) must be tested for safety and confirmed with this certificate, commonly referred to as the AZS Certificate of Conformity (CoC). This document is essential for the product’s import.

• EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Certification: Since radar equipment emits electromagnetic signals, this certificate is also required and mandatory. It ensures that the device can operate without interfering with other equipment and is based on international standards (IEC 61000, EN 301 489) and national requirements. This certification is commonly referred to as the AZS Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for EMC.

• RF (Radio Frequency) Certification: As the device uses radio frequencies, its compliance with the frequency bands defined by the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan must be confirmed. This certificate, commonly referred to as the Mincom Certificate of Conformity (CoC), is based on the “Radio Frequency Spectrum Management Regulations” and ITU standards.
