NBTC certificate | NBTC Certification Approval Thailand

Why is NBTC certification in Thailand important?

The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has powers and duties to assign frequencies and to regulate the broadcasting and telecommunications businesses. NBTC licenses and regulates the use of frequencies and radiocommunications equipment in telecommunications and radiocommunications services in order to ensure that the users are provided with quality, efficiency, timeliness, reliability and fairness through NBTC’s standards and technical specifications. NBTC certification is crucially important for your broadcast and telecommunications equipment because it is a mandatory requirement that your equipment has to comply with in order to sell legally in Thailand.

Does NBTC certification have something to do with digital TV?

Yes, the NBTC has regulated the scope of technical standards for digital terrestrial television receivers, which are capable of receiving a digital television signal in the Second Generation Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting System (DVB-T2) in both Standard Definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) formats, for both receivers with a display screen (Integrated Digital Television, iDTV) and receivers without a display screen (set-top box).

The NBTC also regulates the scope of technical standards for DVB-S, DVB-S2 for both receivers with a display screen and receivers without a display screen (set-top box), as well as internet set-top boxes.

The type of digital television receiver also covers portable or mobile receivers, vehicle receivers and any other device that is used without relying on the supply mains, either directly connected or through a power adapter.
