Telepermit

Equipment to be connected to the public telecommunications network in New Zealand requires a Telepermit from Telecom New Zealand. Telecom New Zealand also has technical standards that govern end-to-end communication characteristics of certain types of systems. Telepermits are typically issued based on review of test reports to demonstrate compliance with New Zealand standards. The applicant must be a New Zealand company.

Compliance International has been supporting conformity assessment in New Zealand for over 15 years for some of the world's best known names in telecommunications equipment. We can help you complete Telepermits with our turnkey support service, which includes advice on technical requirements, building the full technical application package, handling the interface with Telecom New Zealand, and managing the application process through to completion.
