Ivory Coast ARTCI – Type Approval
—————————————————
The Autorité de Régulation des Télécommunications/TIC de Côte d’Ivoire (ARTCI) oversees the type approval of all telecommunications and ICT equipment entering the Ivorian market. This includes: Mobile phones, Wireless routers, RF modules, IoT devices and more.

Type Approval certificates in Ivory Coast are valid for five (5) years, giving your business long-term access to this growing West African market. While product samples are officially required, current enforcement is flexible, with samples only needed if specifically requested by the authority. Additionally, a local representative is mandatory, and we’ve got you covered.

Ivory Coast HACA – AudioVisual Approval
————————————————————
For equipment that involves broadcasting capabilities, the Haute Autorité de la Communication Audiovisuelle (HACA) approval is required. This applies to devices such as: AM/FM/DAB radios, Televisions, Car audio/infotainment systems, Set-top boxes and such audiovisual devices.

HACA approval certificates for audiovisual equipment in Ivory Coast are valid for five (5) years, ensuring stable market access for your broadcast and AV products. A local representative is required, and one product sample must be provided. Typical lead time ranges from 5 to 7 weeks.

Devices that include both AudioVisual and wireless features (like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, LTE, GSM) require certification from both HACA and ARTCI.

Here’s what we offer for both ARTCI and HACA:

• Clear, tailored guidance on product classification, technical requirements, and documentation for approvals
• Full management of application fees, government charges, and submission procedures
• Coordination of sample handling for HACA and ARTCI (when required by Authority)
• Start-to-finish oversight of the approval process—from document preparation to certificate delivery
• Re-approval support in case of firmware upgrades, hardware changes, or approval expiry

At Nano Technology Solutions, we take the guesswork out of compliance. Whether you're expanding your portfolio or entering the Ivorian market for the first time, we make the ARTCI Type Approval process fast, transparent, and worry-free.
