NBTC
NBTC divides telecommunication equipment that must be inspected and certified into three categories: SDoC, Class A and Class B.
It starts at USD400 per product based on a relevant standard, in which we include:
- Guidance on documents required
- Filling out application forms
- Document and test report checks
- Local representative service
- Submitting projects to regulatory agencies
- Certificate fee
- Labeling and marking assistance
- Weekly project status updates
- Notification of certificate renewal
- Guidance on documents required
- Filling out application forms
- Document and test report checks
- Local representative service
- Submitting projects to regulatory agencies
- Certificate fee
- Labeling and marking assistance
- Weekly project status updates
- Notification of certificate renewal
Product scope covered by the Class C registration would be the same scope as SDoC equipment. What we are saying is that if this product falls into the SDoC scope, then you can apply for SDoC or Class C approval with the NBTC.
Some of our clients request only Class C instead of SDoC, so whenever they share the Class C registration to other importers in Thailand, the registered product could help them to avoid trouble while passing Thailand’s custom clearance.
Note that the Class C certification is not mandatory, is more expensive and involves a longer process than SDoC.

No, product testing is not required. You can provide CE, FCC and CB test reports for submission.
No, you don’t.
Yes, a local representative is required.
You will have to provide the following info about your local representative;
- Name of authorized person and title of position
- Company name and address of the local representative
- Name and email address of a contact person
Yes, Zergo can be the local representative for your application.
It could be valid as long as NBTC doesn’t update or change any relevant standard to your product.
Per the NBTC, Class A and Class C approval are registration, and Class B is the certification. In order to process these three classes, you will also need an NBTC seller license.
A qualified applicant for an NBTC seller license needs to have the following qualifications:
- Being a juristic person registered under Thai law
- In the case of a juristic person registered under foreign laws or located abroad, the application shall be made by a representative who is an individual or a juristic person of Thai nationality.
Yes, we could.
If your local representative has never had the supplier code before, then they could receive it from NBTC after your product is registered or certified.
They are as follows:
- Technical (wireless) specification
- Picture of product
- Test reports
- User manual
Yes, you can use RF test reports of the module to get NBTC approval for your end product, but the manufacturer will have to write a declaration letter regarding this.
Our costs for NBTC approval are inclusive of the certificate fees but do not include a product testing fee, because there is no need to send your product to get tested in Thailand in order to apply for NBTC certifications.
