The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has updated laws to introduce Type Approvals into the country.

The rules published capture inclusion of new safety standards, addition of several new categories as part of type approvals, and many other changes. There will also be a brand new process for Type Approvals, and will require a local 3rd party representative or consultant for the type approval.Along with a standard type approval process, PTA will need more documents as well.

PTA will also need to reassess the certificate if any modifications are made as well. Each model must have a separate type approval as well. PTA will also require a sample for testing and may keep the sample depending on the value of the item. Any sample with a value of over $2,000USD will be allowed to be returned to the manufacturer if they submit documents and file it within 3 months.
