The mandatory certification from the UAE Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) is a essential pass for communication equipment entering the UAE market. To help you quickly grasp the core new regulations, the table below summarizes key certification information current for 2025.

Detailed Explanation of New Regulations & Operational Guide:
Beyond the core information in the table, pay special attention to the following when preparing for certification:
·Monitor Device Classification Updates: TDRA dynamically adjusts specific device types under different risk levels. Before submitting an application, always verify your product's latest risk classification via the "Service Characteristics" section on the TDRA website. This is the first step in choosing the correct certification path.
·Prepare Key Application Documents: The official Technical Data Sheet is mandatory for all applications, regardless of risk level. For Level 2 and Level 3 devices, test reports from a laboratory accredited by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), covering RF, EMF, and safety standards, are also required. Additionally, depending on the device type, an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) certificate and 1-2 device samples may be needed.
·Understand Related Policy Dynamics: TDRA is actively planning future spectrum resources. Its published "UAE Spectrum Outlook 2026-2031" is under consultation, indicating potential future changes in spectrum usage rules for wireless communication devices, which manufacturers should monitor.
Practical TDRA Certification Advice for You:
1.Plan Ahead & Apply Precisely: Certification timelines range from 1 to 10 working days. Plan accordingly based on your product's risk level, allowing sufficient time for document preparation and testing. Accurately determining the product level and preparing complete documents is key to a smooth audit process.
2.Ensure Test Report Compliance: TDRA mandates that test reports must be issued by an ILAC-accredited laboratory. When selecting a lab, verify its qualifications to avoid report rejection, which causes certification delays and cost increases.
