CONATEL Type Approval in Haiti

CONATEL (Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones) is the telecommunications regulating agency in Haiti. All products using radio frequency and cellular require type approval and certification in Haiti.

Haiti requires in-country product testing and one sample is mandatory for all approval requests. LARCG will assist with the importation of the sample and arrange for the testing in Haiti. Technical documents will be reviewed and validated in the approval process as well.

Haiti does not require local representation, however, nor does it have specific product labeling requirements.

Products requiring CONATEL approval include:

  • Wireless tablets
  • Personal trackers
  • Modems
  • Mobile phones
  • RFID equipment
  • Notebook PC’s

Haiti Plug Types

Electrical Plug Type A NEMA 1-15
Electrical Plug Type B NEMA 5-15

Type A plugs, rated at 15 Amps, are used mainly in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America and Central America. This Class I, non-grounded, non-insulated plug operates on AC current and is known as NEMA 1-15. The plug has two 1.5 mm thick blades which measure 15.9 – 18.3 mm in length and are spaced 12.7 mm apart. The neutral blade is 7.9 mm wide, while the hot blade is 6.3 mm wide.
This plug almost always operates between 100 – 127 volts and is only compatible with socket type A.

Type B plugs, rated at 15 amps, are used mainly in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America and Central America. This class I grounded, non-insulated plug operates on AC current and is known as NEMA 5-15. The plug has two 1.5 mm thick blades which measure 15.9 – 18.3 mm in length, and are spaced 12.7 mm apart. It also features a 4.8 diameter round, or u-shaped earth pin measuring 3.2 mm which acts as a ground. This plug almost always operates between 100 – 127 volts and is compatible with type A and B sockets. Grounded type B outlets are still rather uncommon in some parts of Central and South America. However, it is not uncommon for people to cut off the earth pin to achieve compatibility with two-pole non-grounded sockets.
