Like the powerful yet graceful cascade of water tumbling into the Zambezi River, our ZICTA Type Approval process offers a smooth and unobstructed pathway for your wireless devices to enter the Zambian market. At Nano Technology Solutions, we simplify the approval journey so your Wi‑Fi routers, cellular devices, Bluetooth products, and other RF‑enabled equipment clear customs and reach customers quickly and confidently.


How it works — simple, transparent, and done for you

  1. You complete the required documents and share them with us. Required items include:

    • Declaration of Conformity (DoC)

    • Technical datasheet and user manual

    • Internal and external product photos

    • Block diagram, schematics, and PCB layout

    • RF, EMC, and SAR test reports (CE/FCC reports with ILAC accreditation accepted)

    • GSMA TAC letter for cellular devices


  2. Our technical team performs a comprehensive compliance review to identify and close any gaps.


  3. We prepare the ZICTA application form and share a draft with you for accuracy and approval.


  4. Once you review and confirm the draft, we submit the application to ZICTA and manage all communications with the regulator on your behalf.


  5. ZICTA issues the Type Approval certificate — typical lead time is 4–6 weeks when dossiers are complete.


What you must provide

To avoid delays, please ensure all test reports (RF, EMC, SAR) and technical documentation are complete. Incomplete or missing reports are the primary cause of application delays.
