The Office of the Regulator (OOTR) is the official body responsible for regulating telecommunications and radiocommunications equipment in Samoa. The OOTR ensures that all Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and wireless devices meet national technical standards to prevent interference and ensure the safety of the public and the telecommunications network.

Samoa operates a mandatory certification system for all equipment that connects to the public network or utilizes the radio frequency spectrum. While the OOTR accepts international test reports (such as those from the FCC (USA), ETSI (Europe), ACMA (Australia), and RSM (New Zealand) to streamline the process, equipment must still be formally registered and type approved before it can be imported or sold. Once issued, type approval certificates help ensure your products are legally compliant in this Pacific market.

Standard processing times for OOTR approval are remarkably efficient, generally taking about 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the completeness of the technical file and sample delivery. We simplify your entry into the Samoan market by handling the administrative burden of OOTR filings, ensuring your documentation meets regulatory expectations and navigating the regulatory landscape with precision.
