Nepal - NTA Type Approval - Overview

Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) administers the Nepal - NTA Type Approval Process which is a mandatory requirement for Radio and Telecommunication Equipment prior to their import to Nepal (with exemptions as mentioned on this page below)

​

NTA Type Approval consists of two phases:

1- Provisional NTA Type Approval - Valid for 6 months

2- Periodic Permanent NTA Type Approval - Valid for 5 Years 

​

It is to be noted that NTA facilitates the Periodic permanent NTA Type Approval requests only if the approved devices are actually imported and sold during the six month provisional approval phase.
