Telecommunication Equipment Labels and Advertisement

Overview

The primary purpose of the labelling and advertisement requirements is to facilitate the easy identification of telecommunication equipment which is approved for use in Singapore.

The compliance label indicates that the equipment complies with the regulations, standards, and specifications published by IMDA, is compatible with the public telecommunication networks in Singapore, and does not cause radio frequency interference to other authorised radio-communication networks. This provides greater assurance to consumers at the point of purchase that the telecommunication equipment has been approved for use in Singapore. This label also identifies the registering equipment supplier.
