ICASA, the independent communication authority of South Africa, is the regulator of South Africa's national broadcasting, communication and postal services. All wireless products must obtain ICASA certification before entering the South African market. Wireless communication equipment exported to South Africa needs to apply for model certification from independent communications authority of South Africa (ICASA) and can only be sold after being approved. This is also equivalent to the domestic network model approval application for South Africa ICASA certification. It should be noted that ICASA certification can only be issued to registered companies or representative organizations in South Africa. Therefore, it is better for domestic manufacturers to apply for ICASA by local importers, but the test can be completed in China.
