A market approval for radio products in Singapore is granted by the governmental authority Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and is a necessity for the marketing of products in Singapore.
The IMDA approval is strongly based on the requirements of the European Radio Equipment Directive (RED) for CE marking, so that test reports and certificates that comply with the RED can be accepted by the IMDA and used for a market approval in Singapore.
The IMDA certification, contrary to the CE marking, is only valid for five years. After this period the products must be recertified.
