Standing tall on Cape Verde's coast, the Dona Maria Pia lighthouse guides vessels safely to harbor. With equal reliability, Nano Technology Solutions guides manufacturers through ARME's regulatory requirements, ensuring compliant market entry for telecommunications devices.


Understanding ARME's Regulatory Framework

As Cape Verde's telecommunications regulatory authority, ARME (Agência Reguladora Multissetorial da Economia) maintains strict standards for all radio and telecommunications equipment entering the market. Established to ensure spectrum integrity and device interoperability, ARME oversees the certification process for:

  • Mobile phones and smartphones

  • Wireless networking equipment

  • Bluetooth and IoT devices

  • Radio communication systems

  • Satellite equipment

  • Broadcasting hardware

  • Medical devices with wireless capabilities

All telecommunications equipment must undergo thorough testing and documentation review before receiving type approval certification. This process verifies that devices comply with Cape Verde's frequency allocation plans, output power limitations, electromagnetic compatibility standards, and safety requirements.


Our Proven Methodology

Our systematic approach to ARME compliance includes:

  1. Initial Assessment: We analyze your device specifications against current ARME requirements to identify potential compliance issues before formal submission.

  2. Documentation Preparation: Our regulatory specialists compile and format all required technical documentation according to ARME's exacting standards.

  3. Submission Management: We handle all communications with ARME, addressing questions and providing additional information as needed throughout the review process.

  4. Draft Certificate Review: Once the draft certificate is ready, we share it with you for your approval and only when you confirm we proceed with requesting the regulator for the final certificate. This ensures that the details on the certificate is as per your expectations.


Understanding Certificate Duration and Processing Times in Cape Verde Type Approval

The certificate typically has an indefinite or permanent validity, meaning once issued, there is no need for renewal under normal circumstances. The type approval certificate confirms that the device complies with the applicable technical and safety standards, authorizing its importation, marketing, and operation within Cape Verde.


The certificate does not generally require additional labeling or marking beyond what is specified, and no local representative is required. Lead times for obtaining type approval certificates tend to range from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the regulators priorities and internal factors.
