Cambodia Telecommunications Regulation: Draft Prakas on Technical Standards and Type‑Approval Extended for Public Consultation

Background

Regulatory consultation is underway for two draft prakas concerning telecommunications equipment: one on technical standards and one on type approval and conformity assessment. Ministerial prakas are the formal regulatory instruments used by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications to define technical standards for telecommunications equipment.

The announcement records that the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (MPTC) and the Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia (TRC) have extended the public comment period to 25 June 2026. The Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia is engaged in type-approval and conformity-assessment processes for telecommunications devices submitted for market authorization.

Scope of Application

The extension applies to two draft prakas issued for public consultation: (A) Draft Prakas on Technical Standards of Telecommunications Equipment and (B) Draft Prakas on Type Approval and Conformity Assessment of Telecommunications Equipment. The consultation is open to operators, relevant stakeholders, and the general public, who are invited to download the draft texts and comment templates and to submit feedback via the official online forms listed below.

Key Provisions or Decisions

  • The MPTC and TRC decided to extend the period for receiving input on both draft prakas until 25 June 2026.
  • Drafts and comment templates are published online and can be downloaded from the MPTC government short links provided by the announcement.
  • Stakeholders are asked to submit comments via the specified online submission forms by the stated deadline.

Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance

Operators, importers and suppliers of telecommunications equipment should review the published draft prakas and use the provided comment templates if they wish to record technical or compliance concerns during the consultation window. Participation in the consultation provides a formal channel for stakeholders to raise technical or procedural points before the prakas are finalized and promulgated.
