Type approval in Cape Verde
What you need to know to enter the Cape Verde market
Type approval for RF and telecom products in Cape Verde is administered by ARME (ARME). Approvals are generally obtained in 4 Wks, and once granted are valid for Unlimited. No local representative is required.
Why type approval is required
Selling RF equipment in Cape Verde without approval is illegal
National standards compliance
Products must meet Cape Verde's technical specifications for RF emissions, interference limits, and device safety before they can be imported or placed on the market.
Interference protection
Uncertified devices can disrupt local telecommunications networks, emergency services, and critical infrastructure — type approval ensures your product operates safely alongside existing deployments.
Legal market access
Without type approval, products risk customs seizure, fines, and permanent market bans. Certification is the legal prerequisite for commercial sale, distribution, or importation in Cape Verde.
