The Telecommunications, Radiocommunications and Broadcasting Regulator (TRBR) hereby announces the introduction of the General User Radio Licence (GURL) Guideline for National Type Approval Framework and Short - range Radiocommunications Devices (SRDs) for the Republic of Vanuatu. The TRBR welcomes and invites comments and feedback to this consultation document from all interested parties.

The successful introduction of this proposed new guideline for telecommunications, radiocommunications and broadcasting technical conditions and radiation limits for SRDs and unlicensed equipment will involve many stakeholders, including some that are not participants in the telecommunications and broadcasting sector.

TRBR proposes that all SRDs and like equipment that is intended to be imported into, or to be manufactured and to be used in Vanuatu, must be in compliance with this Guideline.
