Overview

TRC regulation at a glance

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) of Jordan oversees the entry of all radio and telecommunications equipment into the local market. Based in Amman, the TRC ensures that all hardware adheres to national security, safety, and performance standards.

Jordan’s regulatory framework is closely aligned with European Union (ETSI) standards. Recent updates in late 2024 have adjusted certificate validity to 1 year for foreign manufacturers, while introducing digital labeling options to streamline compliance.
