Mongolia has introduced updated regulations for ICT equipment certification, strengthening compliance requirements for market entry.

Issued by the Communications Regulatory Commission (CRC) on 13 February 2026 (Resolution No. 24), the framework clarifies conformity assessment and certification procedures for telecom equipment.

Under the new rules, all listed telecom and ICT devices must obtain mandatory certification before import, sale, or use, while non-listed equipment may be certified on a voluntary basis.

The regulation defines three main certification categories:

• Import certification

• Domestic production certification

• Export certification

Applicants are required to submit technical documentation, manufacturer declarations, and valid test reports covering safety, EMC, and RF compliance. International test reports may be accepted if recognized.

The certification process includes document review, testing, and, where necessary, factory inspections, with decisions issued within 10 working days of a complete application.

Certificate validity varies by scheme, with durations of up to four years for import and domestic equipment, and three years for export and sample-exempt cases.

The framework also introduces annual surveillance to ensure ongoing compliance, with non-compliant products subject to corrective actions or certificate revocation.

To enhance transparency, the CRC will publish details of certified equipment, helping prevent non-compliant devices from entering the market.

This update reflects Mongolia’s efforts to align with international standards while strengthening product safety and market integrity. For expert insights, feel free to contact info@nanotechsol.com.
