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 Lebanese Atomic Energy Authority approval to import or export a device check is screening
Separates product, supplier, import, facility, source-holder, and operator radiation obligations. 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.

- Useful product facts
- X-ray or radioactive source, modality, energy, import purpose, installation site, and operator role.
The Ministry's own administrative-service record for the device entry/import approval lists among the required documents 'موافقة الهيئة اللبنانية للطاقة الذرية على الإستيراد أو التصدير حسب الطلب' — the Lebanese Atomic Energy Authority's approval for import or export as requested — and makes it a condition that the device invoice bear the Atomic Energy stamp (يجب أن تكون الفاتورة الخاصة بالجهاز ممهورة بختم الطاقة الذرية). A radiation-emitting device (diagnostic X-ray, fluoroscopy or radiotherapy equipment, or a device containing a sealed source) therefore carries the Authority's import approval alongside the Ministry file and the Industrial Research Institute's conformity certificate. Two limits: the requirement is asserted on the Ministry's service record because the Authority's own licensing instrument could not be retrieved (laec.gov.lb did not resolve and cnrs.edu.lb refused the request), and the record words the requirement 'as requested', so which device families fall inside it is recorded in unresolved rather than asserted here.
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
Other Lebanon routes to check
Wireless / radio
TRA type approval for radio and telecommunications terminal equipment
Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.

Import CoC / PVoC
Reference-authority certificate and free-sale certificate in the device registration file

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 Lebanon 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 Lebanon?
- 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.
