...standards came into force immediately upon publication, with the exception of the immunity measurements which came into force a year later in 2011. "Prior to the promulgation of the official list, EMC requirements were not compulsory, thus some of the products that did not comply may have obtained ICASA approval to enter the market. Since its implementation, however, no device that did not comply with EMC/EMI requirements was approved by ICASA. The devices which are found to be non-compliant to ICASA-regulated standards may result in a fine not exceeding R1-million. "The publication of the official list of ICASA regulated standards created certainty in the industry in relation to the mandatory EMC/EMI standards to which all electronic communications equipment or electronic communications facilities, including radio equipment, electrical and electronic equipment must comply for the purpose of type approval." He also said that no case(s) of non-compliance relating to EMC/EMI had been reported to ICASA thus far so no one has been fined."
