Saudi Arabia - CST Type Approval - Overview
Our Saudi Arabia CST Type Approval service is designed to support your business in obtaining the required certification for telecommunication and radio equipment in Saudi Arabia. The Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) mandates that all radio frequency (RF) and information technology (IT) devices meet Saudi Arabian technical standards before entering the market.
This certification process evaluates compliance with both local and international standards, such as those set by the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), and generally does not require local in-country testing, making it a more streamlined and accessible process for companies worldwide.
With CST approval, your product certification remains valid for two years, ensuring that you meet ongoing regulatory and safety standards.
We offer end-to-end support for navigating the CST Type Approval process, handling documentation, and compliance requirements on your behalf. Our team guides you through preparing the technical construction files (TCF), declarations, and necessary forms, ensuring that all requirements are met in alignment with CST guidelines.
This includes reviewing and verifying international test reports and certifications, ensuring they align with CST criteria to avoid delays. By leveraging our expertise, you can achieve a quicker market entry with comprehensive support throughout the approval process.
