# IoT Device Compliance

## IoT device compliance in Georgia

The market for the internet of things (IoT) is growing rapidly: connected sensors, smart household appliances, industrial controllers and wearable devices. Georgia has no separate statute devoted to IoT — and this must be said plainly. Another regulatory framework does exist: the Georgian Law on Electronic Communications, which applies to devices when a radio transmitter is built into them.

Among the definitions of Article 2 of the law is the user's terminal equipment: technical equipment intended for the receipt of an electronic communications service by a subscriber or end user, placed at a mobile or fixed address and not forming part of the operator's network. Most IoT devices — including those equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular and LoRa modules — fit precisely into this concept. The first question of IoT compliance is therefore formulated as follows: does the device have a radio transmitter, and does it fall within the definition of terminal equipment?

### Is there a special IoT statute?

No. IoT devices fall under the electronic communications law when they contain a radio transmitter. Specific requirements for device security and data are not part of this framework.

### What is terminal equipment?

Technical equipment intended for the receipt of an electronic communications service by a subscriber or end user, not forming part of the operator's network. Most connected devices fit this concept.

### Who performs certification?

Examination centres and laboratories accredited with the National Agency for Standardization on the Commission's recommendation. Certification proceeds under the Commission's regulation and in compliance with technical norms.

### What must an importer do?

Check the device's radio parameters, establish the terminal-equipment qualification, obtain an accredited laboratory certificate and separately verify the general requirements.
