NBTC Type Approval in Thailand

NBTC Certification Services

Obtaining NBTC type approval in Thailand involves more than submitting a test report. Documentation must meet specific NBTC formatting and content requirements, test standards must align with those recognised by the authority for your product category, and a registered local representative must be in place before an application can proceed.

Zergo is a Thailand-based regulatory specialist managing the complete NBTC type approval process for telecommunications and RF equipment. We work with international laboratories, certification agencies, and manufacturers, accepting test reports from accredited laboratories and handling everything from application preparation through to certificate issuance.

NBTC Certification Service

We manage the complete NBTC certification process in Thailand on your behalf — from preparing your application through to delivering your official approval details.

What's Included

Preparing and submitting the application

We compile your documentation into the format required by NBTC, verify that all components meet submission requirements, and submit the application on your behalf.

Acting as the local representative

NBTC regulations require a registered local representative for all applications. This must be a Thai juristic person. Zergo fulfils this role directly, or works with your appointed representative if you have one in place.

Coordinating with NBTC during review

Once submitted, the NBTC may request additional information or clarification at any point during the review process. Zergo handles all communication with the authority on your behalf, so you are not navigating that process from overseas.

Delivering your official approval details

Upon successful completion, we provide you with the official NBTC approval document and reference details for your records.

Local Representative Options

All applications require a local representative. Zergo offers two arrangements:

Included

Zergo as your local representative

Our in-house representative service eliminates the need to coordinate with any external party. Because our documentation is already on file, this is typically the most straightforward and fastest route to approval.

Your own appointed representative

If you have an existing local representative arrangement, you provide the required representative documents and Zergo handles the rest.

Certification Process Overview

  1. Documentation Verification
  2. Application Preparation
  3. Submission
  4. Authority Review
  5. Preliminary Approval
  6. Certificate Issuance

Required Documents

All applications require technical specifications, product photographs, test reports from an accredited laboratory, and an authorised declaration. Additional documents apply depending on certification type.

For a complete breakdown by certification type, see our NBTC Certification Process page.

Add-On Services

Optional services that can be combined with the NBTC Certification Service. Fees for both are deductible from your core service cost if you proceed.

Pre-Submission Review

USD 250 per review

An independent review of your documentation package before anything is submitted — one of the most effective ways to prevent delays in NBTC certification.

Document completeness

All required documents checked for presence, correct formatting, and NBTC-expected content — before submission, not after rejection.

Test standard alignment

Key differentiator

We verify that your test reports reference NBTC-accepted standards for your specific product category. A report may be technically valid at your home regulator yet still fail NBTC review — not because the test was wrong, but because NBTC does not recognise that standard for your device type. Finding this before submission avoids the cost of commissioning additional testing.

How this differs from the core service

Core service
  • Documents compiled and verified during application preparation
  • Test standard check as part of submission prep
  • Issues identified after engagement
Pre-Submission Review
  • Independent review before committing to the full service
  • Dedicated test standard alignment against NBTC's accepted list
  • Issues identified before testing costs are locked in

For laboratories and agencies managing multiple submissions, catching standard misalignments at this stage — rather than after rejection — also protects your relationship with the end client.

If you proceed to the NBTC Certification Service, this fee is deducted from your service cost.

Regulatory Consultation

USD 200 per session

Some products require closer examination to determine the correct certification type — particularly those combining multiple radio technologies, operating across frequency bands with different certification requirements, or incorporating configurations that do not map directly to a single product category.

Not sure which certification type applies to your product? Our NBTC Certification Checker covers the most common technologies and certification types. For products that fall outside those cases, or where you need a definitive answer before committing to testing, a regulatory consultation gives you exactly that.

To make the most of your session, we ask that you submit your product specifications in advance. This allows us to prepare a thorough response and ensure the consultation addresses everything relevant to your NBTC type approval application. Each session runs up to 60 minutes.

If you proceed to the NBTC Certification Service, the fee is deducted from your service cost.
