Does my medical device need ARTCI homologation of terminal equipment connected to a public network in Côte d'Ivoire?

Describe your device to check whether ARTCI homologation of terminal equipment connected to a public network may apply, why, what facts are missing, and which official source to review.

Not just a yes or no

A route-by-route answer. Separate product certificates, dossier evidence, import documents, and facility licences stay separate.

Maintained country rule

What this ARTCI homologation of terminal equipment connected to a public network check is screening

Checks whether equipment connected to a public network needs a separate terminal-equipment route. Maintained as a mandatory pre-market route.

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.

Requirement family: Telecom network attachment
Regulatory object: covered terminal equipment
Maintained rule status: mandatory pre market
Useful product facts: Public-network connection, terminal type, cellular or wired interfaces, and network function.

The first limb of art. 88 of ordonnance n° 2012-293 covers equipment intended to be connected to a public Telecommunications/ICT network, not only radioelectrical equipment, and homologation is materialised by an ARTCI certificate. Art. 92 adds that the test laboratories used to establish conformity must be accredited by the ARTCI, recognised in Côte d'Ivoire under international agreements, or otherwise authorised under Ivorian law. Wired terminal equipment with no radio element therefore still needs the ARTCI homologation, and the same application form covers terminal and radioelectrical equipment.

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.

Product approval

A certificate or approval attached to the finished product, component, or radio host.

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.

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 Côte d'Ivoire 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 Côte d'Ivoire?: 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.
