Overview

Azerbaijan regulation at a glance

In Azerbaijan, the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport is the principal regulatory body overseeing radio and telecommunications equipment. Any such hardware imported or distributed within the country must secure Type Approval to verify alignment with national spectrum allocations.

This certification falls under the umbrella of the Azerbaijan National Certification System (AZS). Depending on the product type, devices must be evaluated across three critical pillars: Electrical Safety, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), and Radio Frequency.
