The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) published technical specification TCRA/TS015, Version 1.0 for Short-Range Devices (SRDs) on June 25, 2024. The Specification defines the minimum technical requirements for SRD transmitters and receivers to operate in one of the authorized frequency bands or frequencies and transmit within the corresponding output power levels.

The specification contains technical characteristics and requirements that depend on typical applications and the frequency bands used. The document corresponds mostly with the European standards and international recommendations. Additionally, the technical specification includes environment and safety requirements as well as EMC requirements. Thus, SRDs should conform to: 

• the safety requirements as specified in IEC/EN 60950-1 or IEC/EN 62368-1 or any relevant international safety standards, depending on the applications
• the ICNIRP limits for human exposure to electromagnetic fields. 
• the standards that govern the restriction for the use of hazardous substances, such as IEC 63000 standard
• electromagnetic emission and immunity limits as specified in CISPR 32, EN 55022, EN 55024, EN 55032, and EN 61000 standards

‍

Please note, this Technical Specification allows the application of WAS/RLAN in the 5945-6425 MHz frequency band.
