Paul, Here is the information I have for Israel, courtesy of the ITL:
How to obtain Type Approval for Telecoms Terminal Equipment in Israel
All equipment connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) in
Israel requires a Type Approval from the Certification Department of the
Ministry of Communications.
Requirements for obtaining Type Approval Telecommunications Terminal
Equipment (Analog) in Israel are as follows:
1. Approvals will only be issued to local importers/distributors or
manufacturers.
2. Terminal Equipment must comply with Israel Ministry of Comunications
Specification 023/96. Compliance may be by testing at an approved laboratory
or presentation of acceptable foreign approvals.
According to Ministry regulations, equipment which fails compliance testing
to Spec 023/96 must be resubmitted for full testing; partial retesting is
not acceptable.
3. The Ministry accepts approvals to FCC Part 68 (USA), and to TBR21 from
BABT (UK), BZT (Germany) and CNET (France).
Note that only originals of any of these approvals and full test report, or
copies authenticated by a Notary Public in the country of issue, are
acceptable.
An approval and test report will be reviewed. If authentic and if it covers
the performance requires of Spec 023/96 then the product will be deemed
compliant. If any requirements of the Israel Spec have not been covered then
additional testing must be performed.
Foreign approvals that do not meet the Ministry's criteria will not be
accepted. In such a case full testing to Spec 023/96 must be performed.
4. Safety. All AC mains equipment must comply with the requirements of IS
1121 (the national version of IEC 950). Foreign approvals are not
acceptable, but approvals and test reports from reputable international
bodies may expedite the testing and approval process.
5. EMC. All equipment must comply with the requirements of IS 961 Part 6
(1991), the national version of CISPR22, or with FCC Part 15. A test report
from a suitably accredited EMC laboratory will be acceptable.
6. The following are the only accredited Test Laboratories:
ITL Product Testing Ltd : Telephony, Safety and EMC
Ministry of Communications Lab : Telephony only
Standards Institution of Israel : Safety and EMC
7. The Type Approval fee is currently NIS 350.- (approx US $100.-), payable
to the Ministry of Communications by the applicant (importer or local
manufacturer). The fee may change from time to time. This does not include
charges for testing and/or reviewing of documentation submitted, which are
charged by accredited test laboratories.
8. A Type Approval for a particular product may be used by more than one
Distributor or Importer. However, each Distributor/Importer requires an
Import Permit from the Ministry. The Ministry will not usually supply
information on what Import Permits have been issued.
9. The Type Approval and Import Permit rules are rigourously enforced by
Customs.
10. A Note about ISDN Products: At time of writing procedures for approving
ISDN products in Israel are not yet finalised. Currently the Ministry will
review and generally accept Euro-ISDN Approvals from European Notified
Bodies. No testing (at least for BRi) is presently required. Requirements
for Safety and EMC are as set out above for Analog Equipment. It is
understood that Bezek, the Telephone Company, requires to test PRi equipment
before permitting connection to tne network. Enquiries about ISDN should be
directed to the Ministry. It should be noted that the procedures are likely
to change.
