RE: South Africa and SRD
Hello Kim, Approval is required for 2.4GHz SRD in South Africa. We have successfully obtained approval based on EU EN300 328, safety and emc test reports (applicable to the product). You will require a local representative. If you would like to discuss this off line, my details are below.

Bluetooth. As fare as I can tell they require conformity to EU, US or Canadian requirements and have approved a lot of world wide accreditation bodies. But what is the actual national requirements, I can't find them at any national web. Best regards, Kim Boll Jensen Bolls Raadgivning Denmark
RE: South Africa and SRD
HI Kim, Here's the info I have: The regulator in South Africa is ICASA (www.icasa.org.za). 2.4 GHz RLAN is regulated in South Africa according to No. 1790 Government Gazette, 17 Nov. 1995. No license is needed. The specification to be satisfied is EN 300 328, thus IEEE 802.11b is accepted. 5 GHz band is not open for the moment. New regulations for 5GHz are in discussion. One may expect decisions shortly. 24002483.5 MHz, EIRP max. 100 mW 5150-5350 MHz 5470-5725 MHz not open in South Africa. 3rd party tests reports issued by any accredited test house/laboratory according to appropriate specifications are acceptable for the purposes of application for type approval. Local certificate holder is required. The type approval certificate will only be issued to a local South African registered company. The type approval fee is ZAR4000 and the lead time 2-3 weeks. Hope this helps. We have also info about approximately 60 other countries if you're interested (including copies of the specs).

Hi Kim, The organization that allegedly controls the radio spectrum is SATRA (http://satra.gov.za/). Their website doesn't appear to be working at the moment.
