This framework outlines the procedures to be followed and requirements to be fulfilled by equipment suppliers seeking to register their telecommunication equipment for sale and use. Details are given in the document entitled "Guide for Registration of Telecommunication Equipment".
Equipment registration is based on the submission of the Supplier's Declaration of Conformity (SDoC). The SDoC signifies that the supplier has carried out
conformity assessment on the equipment to IDA's Standards
. The supplier declares equipment conformity based on results of conformity assessment, supported by test reports and technical documents.
IDA accepts test reports, which present test results of equipment testing done according to IDA's Standards by (i)
testing labs recognised by IDA
under a phase I mutual recognition arrangement; (ii) testing labs accredited by accreditation bodies recognised by IDA; or (iii) equipment manufacturers.
IDA also accepts equipment certification by local or foreign
certification bodies recognised by IDA
under a phase II mutual recognition arrangement.
On 27 August 2012, IDA published the Technical Specification for Powerline Communications (PLC) Home Networking to address and reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference to telecommunication services. PLC Home Networking equipment for sale and use in Singapore shall comply with the specification with effect from 1 June 2013 onwards. Prior to the effective date, suppliers are encouraged to comply with the requirements set out in the specification and register the PLC equipment with IDA.
