- Kuwaiti regulatory framework
Regulators typically require that all radio-communications and equipment connected to the public
network meet certain technical standards related to:
•
Radio-wave propagation;
•
Electromagnetic compatibility; and
•
Safety.
CITRA’s power to regulate technical standards and type approval are found in Articles 3(J) and (K), and
43, 44 and 45 of Law No. 37 of 2014.
The Government of Kuwait has established a type approval process for all ICT equipment used within the country. The standards applied in Kuwait include standards that are also used for European ICT equipment and commonly applied across the GCC. This is entirely appropriate as Kuwait, like Europe, falls into ITU Region 1 spectrum usage. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regime maintained in the US is in many ways not compatible as the US is in Region 2.
The CE approval, based on the ETSI standards, is widely used in ITU Region 1 and beyond, since the spectrum usage is mostly compatible. Since 1999 the Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive (R&TTED) complemented by the 2004 Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and the 2006 Low Voltage Directive have been the basis for many type approval regimes. The technical specifications of the R&TTED framework have been widely adopted, also outside the EU countries, though the actual approval process has seen various variants outside the direct European participants. Since 2014 the R&TTED framework has been updated to further streamline the process of equipment type approval. This resulted in the 2014 Radio Equipment Directive (RED) becoming applicable in the European Community. Until very recently the implementation of the new Directive was in a transitional phase replacing the Radio and Telecommunication Terminal Equipment Directive (1999/5/EC). The new RED was adopted on 16 April 2014, and EU countries had to transpose it into their national law before 13 June 2016. Hence, the Current ETSI standards as used under the new RED type approval process in Europe is considered for the technical standards applied in Kuwait.
2.0 Type approval Process
CITRA is following the process previously identified by the Ministry of Communications. However CITRA
is in process of establishing type approval lab; once done, new type approval process will be approved
and published.
3.0 Standards for safety Safety requirements are divided in the following categories: • Electrical;

Annex 6: Standards for Analogue Telecommunications Line Equipment
The analogue telecommunication line equipment being imported into Kuwait must meet a specific set of technical standards. Kuwait applies ETSI ES 203 021-1/2/3 as the basic technical standard and some additional requirements such as: • If pulse dialling is supported: ETSI ES 201 187 • Attachment requirements: TBR 38 • DECT: TBR 10 • CLI: ETSI ES 201 235-3 • Fixed line SMS: ETSI ES 201 912 • Display and related services: ETSI EN 300 659-2 and ETSI ES 200 778-2 • Meter pulse detection: When in the off-hook state, equipment which offers meter pulse detection should recognize the presence of a transverse 12 KHz meter pulse of duration and levels described by the network operator. The equipment should present an impedance of greater than 200Ω at 12 KHz under all line conditions. There are no major issues other than the gradual phase-out of analogue PSTN lines so the services are becoming obsolete. References made to TBR 38 and TBR 10 are considered not necessary for type approval since ETSI SR 001 478-1 (1999). ETSI has classified TBR 38 as historical. The main alternative to maintaining these standards is a gradual phase-out of the standards in line with the phase-out of the legacy PSTN. Reference to “historical” technical standards could be removed from the requirements list. For as long as the analogue PSTN exists these technical standards potentially remain applicable. We recommend maintaining these standards as is, with the exception of removing the reference to documents that have a “historical” status such as TBR 38.
