Israeli regulations and compliance requirements are established to reduce risks, improve the quality of life and ensure safety during use. They can however pose challenges to companies who are looking to explore new markets. WWBridge provides a full range of services and helps our customers to ensure products successfully meet Israeli standards.

WWBridge can help you with any or all of the following to achieve Israel compliance:

• MoC
• SII
• MEPS

MoC 

The market approval of products with built-in wireless technologies for Israel depends on an MoC certification. This regulatory approval is issued by the Israeli Ministry of Communications (MoC). The MoC certification is based on the requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) for market approval in Europe. The MoC therefore also accepts test reports that have been created for a CE marking, so that local tests in an Israeli laboratory are not necessary. This reduces the effort for manufacturers who need to plan between ten and twelve weeks for an MoC certification. At the end of the certification process, however, a local representative from Israel has to be involved.
Following a successful product approval by the authority, the manufacturer is required to label its product for the Israeli market with the MoC approval label. 

Types of MoC Type Approvals:

• MoC Radio Type Approval
• MoC wireless type approval
• MOC Telecom Type Approval

Important to note: MoC certificate will be issued only to Israeli Local Representative/importer.

Products requiring MoC Type Approval include:

• radio transmitter, RFID equipment, contactless card readers, other products that incorporate some kind of RF transmitter.
• radio terminal devices
• mobile (GSM or CDMA) handsets, wireless LAN (WLAN) equipment such as Wi-Fi devices, Bluetooth devices, Zigbee devices, WiMAX devices, RFID equipment, contactless card readers, other products that incorporate some kind of RF transmitter. 
• telecommunications equipment

SII

The Standards Institution of Israel - (SII) is Israel's official body for the preparation and publication of Israeli standards. SII is a non-Governmental Organization with a unique status spelled out by "The Standards Law of 1953". According to this law, the purpose of SII is to Prepare standards as well as to ensure the quality of products which are produced locally or imported. As of January 2018, SII has published 3,504 national standards, of which 653 are mandatory. At the same time, 78% of Israel's mandatory standards are harmonized with international (53%), regional (35% based on European CEN / CENELEC standards) or other foreign standards (12%, mainly US standards).

The conformity assessment of products that are subject to mandatory Israeli standards is linked to the risk assessment divides the products into 4 groups:

Group 1 – Products with the highest risk level. A condition for the release into circulation of goods of this group is the testing and type approval ("type certificate"), which is carried out by an accredited Israeli Laboratory Accreditation Agency (ISRAC) and an authorized testing laboratory by the Ministry of Economy and Industry.

Group 2 – Products with an average level of risk. The condition for the release into circulation of goods of this group is the presence of a "type certificate" and a "supplier's declaration" that the delivered goods meet the requirements of a mandatory (official) standard and that the goods correspond to the type (model) that has been tested and approved by the testing laboratory in the "type certificate".

Group 3 – Products whose risk level is considered low. A condition for the release into circulation of goods of this group is the submission of a declaration signed by the importer on the compliance of the goods with the requirements of the mandatory (official) standard.

Group 4 – Products intended for use only in industry, and not used in the consumer market. This group does not require an import conformity assessment. Compliance with the mandatory standards is checked during supervision at the operational stage.
