Overview

SCRA regulation at a glance

In the Seychelles, the Seychelles Communications Regulatory Authority (SCRA) mandates that all telecommunications and ICT equipment meet specific safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and radio frequency standards. Technical benchmarks are closely aligned with European (ETSI) guidelines.

The SCRA Type Approval process is designed to be highly efficient, operating without the need for physical product samples or a mandatory local representative. Once issued, SCRA certificates are permanently valid, though products must adhere to strict labeling regulations post-approval.
