3. Responsibilities of Suppliers

1. General Obligations

   1. 
      Under the Telecommunications (Dealers) Regulations, a supplier (local dealer) who wishes to manufacture, import, let hire, sell or offer or possess for sale any telecommunication equipment must first obtain a licence. Thereafter, the supplier is required to comply with the relevant licence conditions.
      

2. 
   The supplier who holds a Dealer’s Licence can sell telecommunication equipment that is registered for sale with IMDA under regulation 20(6) of the Telecommunications (Dealers) Regulations (Cap 323, Rg). In addition, the supplier can also sell telecommunication equipment set out in the First Schedule of the Regulations, and reproduced in Table B.2, Annex B, without the requirement of registering such equipment with IMDA.
   

3. 
   The supplier must ensure that the telecommunication equipment is marked with the supplier/manufacturer’s brand or identification mark, and the supplier/manufacturer’s model or type reference. The markings shall be legible, indelible and readily visible.
   

4. 
   The supplier must, before selling any telecommunication equipment, ensure that:
   

1. 
   equipment meets the applicable standards and specifications (see the list of IMDA Technical Regulations/Technical Specifications in Annex D);
   

2. 
   equipment works correctly with the relevant telecommunication system or equipment of the telecommunication system licensee to which it is connected; and
   

3. 
   the supplier will cease to sell the equipment if so directed by IMDA and dispose of the equipment at the supplier’s own expense in the manner directed by IMDA.
   

5. 
   The supplier must ensure that any telecommunication equipment, whether mains or battery powered, must be of a design that conforms with international safety standards (including radiation safety), specified in the appropriate IMDA Technical Specifications (e.g. IEC 60950-1 for electrical safety and ICNIRP recommendations for limiting exposures to time-varying EMFs in the frequency range up to 300 GHz).
   

6. 
   Where applicable, the supplier must ensure that the telecommunication equipment intended for sale in Singapore complies with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements specified in the IEC CISPR 32.
   

7. 
   The supplier must ensure that supporting documents are available when requested by IMDA to show that the equipment conforms to IMDA’s standards and specifications. The required supporting documents are as follows:
   

1. 
   Description of equipment;
   

2. 
   Sales brochure with technical data;
   

3. 
   Test reports;
   

4. 
   Facilities supported; and
   

5. 
   User Guide
   

8. 
   The supplier shall retain the supporting documents for at least 5 years (validity period of the registration) or may be longer at their discretion, considering the specific needs of their customers.
   

9. 
   The supplier shall not manufacture, import, let hire, sell or offer or possess for sale any prohibited equipment set out in the Third Schedule of the Regulations.
