The Jordan Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) has officially enforced **Instructions No. 2 of 2025**, introducing a revised framework for the Type Approval of telecommunication and terminal equipment. These regulations replace previous rules, restructuring certificate validity periods and listing low-risk device exemptions.
Key Regulatory Changes
1. Revised Certificate Validity Terms
Standard Type Approval certificates issued by the TRC carry a validity period of two years. However, certifications submitted by local representatives on behalf of foreign entities are valid for **one year**. Renewal requests must be submitted within six months prior to the expiration date.
2. Formal Low-Risk Device Exemptions
The TRC has formally listed low-risk equipment that is exempt from full type approval procedures. This list includes wireless peripherals (such as Bluetooth mice, keyboards, and headsets), wireless chargers, and consumer computing devices (desktops, laptops) lacking high-power radio interfaces.
3. Source Reference Information
Manufacturers and local representatives must ensure their compliance files align with Instructions No. 2 of 2025. Official texts and the full list of approved and exempt equipment are available on the Jordan TRC Official Portal.
HertzWeg Insight:
"The TRC's updated framework makes market entry easier for low-risk peripherals but requires local representatives to renew certificates annually. Manufacturers must maintain clear records of their representative networks to ensure continuity."
