The government, through the Communications Authority of Kenya, now says that members of the public who want to import, sell or use digital televisions or decoders must first seek Type Approval.
Type Approval is a mandatory compliance process granted by an entity such as the Communications Authority, certifying that a product's design meets the requisite recommendations.
In a notice published on Tuesday, September 2, CA stated that the move was aimed at upholding technical integrity, consumer protection, and regulatory compliance.
The notice requires that all Digital Video Broadcasting-Second Generation Terrestrial (DVB-T2) receivers be Type Approved by the Authority before their importation, sale, or use in Kenya.
