Pillar Technical standards applied to ICT goods and online services  |  Indicator Self-certification for product safety
Lack of self-declaration of conformity (SDoC)
It is reported that market approval for products using radio technologies in Jamaica is granted by the Spectrum Management Authority (SMA). The SMA certification is a national certification scheme based on the specifications of the Conformité Européenne (CE) marking, the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification. However, it is reported that, in Jamaica, typically one sample of the product is required for approval requests.
Tests and certificates issued for CE marking and FCC certification can be reused for SMA certification. Type approval for Radio Communication equipment in Jamaica is obtained through the recognition of type approval test reports prepared in accordance with international standards. However, technical documents must be reviewed and validated by the Bureau of Standards, Jamaica.
