Certification Introduction
- For electronic and electrical products to enter the Mongolian market, mandatory conformity certification led by the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology (MASM) is required, which is a statutory prerequisite for market access.
- Electronic and electrical products with wireless communication functions must additionally obtain radio type approval from the Mongolian Communications Regulatory Commission (CRC).
- MASM recognizes the equivalence of Eurasian Economic Union GOST-R and IEC international certifications, and existing compliance certifications can shorten the review cycle.
Laws and Regulations
- Core legal bases include the Standardization Law of Mongolia (2023 revision), Metrology Law, and Consumer Protection Law. Telecommunication products follow the Radio Law, and new regulatory requirements for 5G devices were added in 2024.
- Products without corresponding certification are prohibited from promotion, sales, installation or use within Mongolia. Violators will face administrative penalties such as fines and cargo seizure.
Technical Requirements
- Electrical safety: Comply with Mongolian National Standards (MNS), most of which are equivalently adopted from IEC international standards. For example, household appliances conform to MNS IEC 60335 series, and information technology equipment conforms to MNS IEC 60950.
- Electromagnetic compatibility: EMC testing is required, with applicable standards MNS CISPR 22 for information technology equipment and MNS CISPR 14 for household appliances.
- Energy efficiency and environmental protection: Some household appliances must meet MNS 62301 energy efficiency standard and comply with RoHS restrictions on hazardous substances.
- Additional requirements for telecommunication products: 5G device radio frequency parameters conform to ITU-R SM.329 standard, and SAR value shall not exceed 1.6W/kg.
- Marking requirements: Product labels must include Mongolian text, with character height no less than 3mm.
Certification Process
Enterprises submit formal certification applications, provide company qualifications and preliminary product technical documents, sign the contract after confirming the certification scope and applicable standards. Prepare complete technical documents including detailed product description, circuit diagrams, component list, and operating instructions in Mongolian or bilingual Mongolian-English; copies of existing international certifications can be submitted to support review. Send samples to MASM-accredited laboratories for testing; high-risk products require an additional factory inspection. After passing all document review and testing, the corresponding certification will be issued.
