Not just a yes or no
A route-by-route answer. Separate product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility licences stay separate.

What this ATT homologation — telecommunications and ICT equipment using the radioelectric spectrum check is screening
Checks Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, NFC, RFID, UWB, telemetry, and proprietary radio approval. Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.
Source association reviewed. The source association has been reviewed. This does not verify every rule, date or product-specific conclusion; read the cited provisions and their limits.

Numeral 9 of Article 14 of Ley N° 164 makes it an ATT attribution to homologate telecommunications and ICT equipment throughout the country, and Article 14 of Decreto Supremo N° 1391 defines homologación as the ATT's verification of equipment or terminal compatibility with a telecommunications network and of appropriate use of the radioelectric spectrum. Resolución Administrativa Regulatoria ATT-DJ-RAR-TL LP 539/2024 of 6 November 2024 approved the current Instructivo para el Registro y Homologación de Equipos de Telecomunicaciones y TIC: Article 10 has the ATT publish the categories and subcategories of equipment subject to homologation, and Article 14 requires a certificate of conformity from an international body recognised by the ATT plus the laboratory test reports. The applicant must first hold a Certificado de Registro as a provider or commercialiser. A medical device with a radio transmitter therefore needs an ATT homologation in addition to its AGEMED registration.
How to read the answer
Classification is only the first layer
A device may have one medical risk class and still trigger separate radio, electrical, measurement, radiation, environmental, import, or installation requirements. The checker keeps each regulatory object separate.
Dossier or import evidence
Testing can belong inside the medical dossier, while some documents apply to each shipment.
Site or operator licence
Radiation, installation, use, or measurement controls may apply to a facility or operator.
Country-specific scope

About this checker
A preliminary tool, not a regulatory determination
Describe the complete product — radio, power, measurement, radiation, battery, materials, accessories, intended use, import route, and existing approvals. The free checker maps those facts to the maintained Bolivia scheme matrix and links each route to its maintained source associations, with reviewed, candidate and unresolved states shown separately.
Use the result to identify questions and official sources. Final scope can depend on exact models, modules, bands, components, claims, HS codes, import structure, installation site, and current authority interpretation.
- Is this the same as medical device classification in Bolivia?
- No. Risk classification determines the main medical-device pathway. This checker runs after classification and looks for additional product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility or operator licences.
- Does “no separate certificate” mean no testing is required?
- No. Safety, EMC, performance, or other evidence can still be required inside the medical-device dossier even when there is no separate national product certificate.
- Is the result an official regulatory determination?
- No. It is a preliminary applicability assessment. Review the linked official source and confirm the final route with the relevant authority, certification body, importer, or regulatory professional.
