Bulgaria is a full member of the European Union and follows the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU as the governing framework for radio and telecommunications equipment. Unlike countries that require a standalone national certification scheme, Bulgaria does not impose a separate mandatory type approval process for radio and telecom equipment. Products that comply with the applicable EU Directives and carry a valid CE marking can be legally placed on the Bulgarian market.

Regulatory oversight and market surveillance in Bulgaria are carried out by the Communications Regulation Commission (CRC). While the CRC does not issue national type approval certificates, it is responsible for monitoring compliance with technical, safety, and spectrum requirements for equipment placed on the Bulgarian market. CE compliance under the EU RED is recognised as sufficient for demonstrating conformity with Bulgarian regulatory requirements.
