Local regulatory support for new Type Approval applications and renewals of telecommunications, wired and wireless equipment. We manage documentation, submission and CMC follow-up through certificate issuance.
SUPPORT

Telecommunications and relevant wired or wireless products may require Type Approval from Iraq's Communications and Media Commission (CMC) before being placed on the Iraqi market. The applicable route depends on the equipment and its regulatory characteristics.
Iraq Approval supports manufacturers, suppliers and international Global Market Access partners with the local CMC application process — from reviewing product documents and confirming requirements to submission and authority follow-up.
