The Info-Communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) of Singapore requires that all radio communication and telecommunication equipment sold or used in Singapore must obtain IMDA Certification approval.

Types of Applications

Depending on the registration scheme and device type, there are five types of applications:

1. Enhanced Simplified Equipment Registration (ESER):

For Bluetooth devices, RFID, wireless microphones, DVB-T2 set-top boxes, etc.

2. Simplified Equipment Registration (SER):

For mobile phones, routers, etc.

3. General Equipment Registration (GER):

4. General Equipment Registration by Certification Body (GER-CB)
