Accra, July 18, GNA – The National Communications
Authority (NCA) on Wednesday commissioned the NCA Type Approval Laboratory to
ensure, that electronic equipment that comes into the country are of standard
quality and would not pose any risk to consumers.
Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Minister of Communication,
who commissioned the laboratory, said the lab, now made it possible to ensure,
that communication equipment, apart from serving their intended purpose, posed
no threat to the environment.
She said the lab would immensely improve upon
the communications sector within the country, and ensure that the right
standards were up-held.
Mr Kofi Datsa, Director, Regulatory
Administration of the NCA, said whilst electronic equipment, being imported
were initially accessed by the documents they came with, it was now possible to
verify the validity of those documents.
He said over the past few years, the NCA had
trained a number of its personnel to man the lab.
The lab consists of the Electro Motive Force
Frequency lab, the Specific Absorption Rate Lab, the Digital Terrestrial
Television Transmission lab and the Radio Frequency and Signalling lab.
