All Tech Compliance

RF Testing Coordination

RF testing evaluates radio-frequency characteristics of equipment against relevant technical standards. All Tech Compliance coordinates this work with independent testing laboratories.

Manufacturers and importers of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, IoT and other wireless devices may need RF evidence for ICASA or regional Type Approval.

How We Help

We coordinate independent testing and review evidence against the requirements of the intended approval.

Requirements & Guidance

Check these details before starting. Exact requirements depend on the product, business model and application route.

Documents Key Checks Common Risks

Typical supporting information includes:

  • Device datasheet and wireless specifications
  • Radio modules, antenna and frequency information
  • Existing RF reports and target approval market

Confirm these points and avoid common pitfalls:

  • Confirm supported bands and output powers
  • Check variants and firmware configurations
  • Align tested mode with the marketed product

Issues worth addressing early:

  • Unsupported frequency bands
  • Incorrect tested configuration or antenna
  • Incomplete RF evidence for the application

How It Works

Independent laboratories perform the tests. ATC coordinates scope, documents and report alignment.

1. Check RF Standards
2. Coordinate Lab
3. Review Reports

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about rf testing coordination.

Does ATC perform RF testing in-house?
No. ATC coordinates testing performed by independent laboratories.
Which devices commonly need RF reports?
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular and other radio-enabled equipment are common examples.
Can an existing RF report be reused?
It depends on the standard, model configuration and regulator requirements.
Can testing support African approvals?
RF evidence may support several countries, subject to local acceptance criteria.
