Prepare documents

Prepare application form, manuals, specification, circuit diagram, photos, test report and authorization if needed.

Submit and pay fees

Submit through NCC online service or office channel, then pay review fees and wait for review.

Label before sale

After receiving the certification number, label the product or packaging as required.

4. Review and certificate fees

規費、測試費與所需測項可能調整，不同申請類別、頻段與驗證機構報價亦不同；送件前應以 NCC 現行規費表及受理機構報價為準。
