When selling a product to a certain country, it raises a question about what approval certification is required by this product. By obtaining approval certification, it means that the product has gone through verification process and finally declared as complied with the local standard. Therefore, the product is legal to be traded or used within the territory of the country.
This is also applied to Cambodia. Every ICT product selling in Cambodia, must have Cambodia Type Approval Certification. This certification is a proof that the product has complied with Cambodian local standard. Therefore, it’s safe to assume that in its normal operation, the product will not cause any interference to another product. Then, what products are mandatory to obtain type approval in Cambodia?
Basically, the list of mandatory products of Cambodia Type Approval can be divided into two classifications: radiocommunication and telecommunication products. Radiocommunication is basically communication product which operates using radio frequency such as Bluetooth, RFID, SRD, NFC, WiFi, Zigbee, and many more. This category is not limited to product type. Any product that has radio frequency feature will fall into this category. And about the telecommunication product, it is usually wired telecommunication equipment such as switch, router, gateway, etc. Any telecommunication product falls into these categories, are mandatory to do TRC certification.
