Zimbabwe POTRAZ - Type Approval : Overview
Bringing your wireless devices like smartphones, routers, IoT systems, or RF modules into Zimbabwe? You’ll need Type Approval from the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ). The process is clear, and with expert support, it can be completed smoothly and efficiently.
Approval usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, and the certificate is permanently valid, meaning your device remains compliant without requiring renewal. There’s no requirement for a local representative.
Samples are not typically required, though POTRAZ may request one for inspection if necessary. This makes the process more flexible compared to other markets.
Additionally, there are no specific labeling requirements, which can simplify your packaging and reduce compliance overhead.
Zimbabwe’s approval system follows EU Standards, making it easier to align your devices with safety and performance regulations that are already familiar in global markets.
