- Description of the measure
- 10.Categories of type approval of equipment
Type approval of equipment may be applied through verification, certification or authorization of the equipment.
11.Verification of equipment
(1) The verification of equipment shall signify that a manufacturer or importer of equipment determined that the equipment was proved to be capable of compliance with the prescribed technical standards, if no unauthorised change is made in the equipment and where the equipment is properly maintained and operated.
(2) Verification of a telecommunications or radio communications equipment shall be by a declaration of conformity where a manufacturer or responsible party makes measurements or takes the necessary steps to ensure that the equipment complies with the appropriate technical standards.
(3) The verification of equipment attaches to all items subsequently marketed by a manufacturer or importer, which are identical to a tested sample and found acceptable by the manufacturer.
(4) A declaration of conformity attaches to all items, subsequently marketed by a party responsible for marketing of the items, which are identical to the sample tested and found acceptable by that party.
(5) In verifying compliance, the party responsible shall warrant that each unit of equipment marketed under the verification procedure is identical to the unit tested and found acceptable with the standards and that the records maintained by that party continue to reflect the equipment produced under that verification within variation that can be expected due to quantity production and testing on a statistical basis.
(6) An importer of equipment subject to verification may upon receiving a written statement from a manufacturer that the equipment complies with the appropriate technical standards, rely on the manufacturer or an in dependent testing agency to verify compliance and the test records for compliance may be made available to the Commission upon request.
(7) A device which is subject to verification shall be uniquely identified by a person responsible for marketing or importing the device into Uganda.
(8) An identification under this regulation shall not be identical with the Commission identifier required for certified, notified or type accepted equipment.
(9) An importer or manufacturer shall maintain adequate identification records to facilitate positive identification for each verified device.
12.Certification of equipment
(1) A telecommunications or radio communications equipment may receive a certification or equipment authorisation issued by the Commission, based on representations and test data submitted by an applicant.
(2) A grantee of an equipment authorisation shall guarantee and give a warrant that each unit of equipment marketed under the grant and bearing the identification specified in the grant shall, conform to the unit that was measured and that the data, including the design and rated operational characteristics, filed with the application for certification, continues to be representative of the equipment produced under the grant within a variation that can be expected due to quantity production and testing on a statistical basis.
(3) The Commission may require an applicant to submit a sample unit for measurement at the Commission’s laboratory or at any other place as the Commission may specify.
(4) Where the applicant believes that shipment of a sample to the Commission’s laboratory is impractical because of the size or weight of the equipment, the power requirement or for any other reason, the applicant may submit a written statement explaining why the shipment is impractical and should not be required.
(5) The Commission may from time to time request a party responsible for any equipment, to submit the equipment to determine the extent to which subsequent production of the equipment continues to comply with the data filed by an applicant or data kept on file with that party, subject to a declaration of conformity.
(6) Any measurement procedure acceptable to the Commission may be used to prepare data demonstrating compliance.
(7) Information on measurement submitted to the Commission shall identify the specific standard or measurement procedure used.
(8) A party making measurements of equipment that is subject to equipment authorization, whether the measurements are filed with the Commission or kept on file by the party responsible for the compliance of the equipment, shall compile a description of the measurement facilities employed.
(9) A description of measurement facilities shall contain—
(a)the location of a test site;
(b)physical description of a test site, accompanied by photographs;
(c)a drawing showing the dimensions of a test site, the physical layout of all supporting structures and all structures within five times the distance between a measuring antenna and a device which is measured;

(10) Each equipment covered in an application for equipment authorisation shall bear a name plate or label with a Commission identifier.
(11) A name-plate or label shall be permanently affixed to an equipment and shall be readily visible to a purchaser at the time of purchase.
(12) A grant of equipment authorisation is valid only where the Commission identifier is permanently affixed to the device and remains effective until it is revoked, withdrawn, rescinded, surrendered, or where a termination date is specified by the Commission.
(13) A grantee of equipment authorisation shall be responsible to the Commission, for any equipment produced using the authorisation.
(14) Certification attaches to any equipment subsequently marketed by an authorised person, which is identical to the tested sample.
(15) Any sample of equipment submitted shall be—
(a)in a good working condition;
(b) properly configured for testing and complete with the necessary test adapters; and
(c) clearly marked with a trade name, model and serial number.
(16) Any equipment to be sold shall be similar to the model that is granted a type approval and the approved equipment shall not be modified in any way, without the approval of the Commission.
(17) A type approval granted under this regulation, shall not be construed as a guarantee by the Commission, of the proper functioning, performance or quality of equipment.
(18) The Commission shall not be liable for any interference caused to any other equipment or for injury, loss of life or damages to property as a direct or indirect result of the use of any approved equipment.
