The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority publishes the Type Approval Regulation issued by Decision No. 5/2009 in Official Gazette Issue 17 of 16 April 2009, as modified by Modification Decision No. 3/2026, and states that under the Minister of Telecommunications' Decision No. 1/624 of 10/11/2025 the issuance of type-approval certifications has moved to the TRA. The file requires the Ministry of Telecommunications' import licence for importers, the type-approval application form, a Technical Compliance Folder (operating frequency and maximum EIRP, drawings and schematics, internal and external photographs, the specification list, and test reports from a laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 or an ILAC member) and the applicant's Declaration of Conformity. Fees are published by Board Decision No. 9/2025: LBP 15,000,000 (scheme 1), LBP 25,000,000 (scheme 2), LBP 41,000,000 (scheme 3) and LBP 8,500,000 for renewal. A radio-equipped medical device therefore carries a telecom type approval alongside the Ministry of Public Health device file, and that tariff sits with the telecom regime rather than in the device fee schedule.
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
Radiation
Lebanese Atomic Energy Authority approval to import or export a device
Applies when the product, feature, component, or use is in scope.
Source association reviewed
Product-specific
Industrial Research Institute conformity certificate for imported devices
Handled as an import or shipment-level obligation.
Source association reviewed
Import CoC / PVoC
Reference-authority certificate and free-sale certificate in the device registration file
Handled as an import or shipment-level obligation.
Source association reviewed
Electrical safety
Electrical safety and EMC evidence inside the device conformity and import file
Evidence is normally handled inside the medical-device registration route.

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.
