|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cybersecurity — Jordan NITC / NCSC Framework and Personal Data Protection Law No. 24/2023 | China's Multi-Level Protection Scheme (MLPS 2.0, GB/T 22239) is mandatory for critical information systems and network operators above a threshold classification level. IoT-specific security guidelines from MIIT are advisory for consumer IoT. The China Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL, 2021) and Data Security Law (DSL, 2021) impose mandatory data processing obligations. No mandatory pre-market cybersecurity product certification equivalent to the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) exists for consumer wireless devices in China as of 2026. CCC certification does not include cybersecurity components.GB/T 22239-2019 (MLPS 2.0 — Multi-Level Protection Scheme for network security) MIIT IoT Security Guidelines (advisory) China Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL, 2021) China Data Security Law (DSL, 2021) |
Jordan's cybersecurity governance involves two primary bodies: NITC (National Information Technology Center — المركز الوطني لتقنية المعلومات) which advises government digital infrastructure and ICT policy, and NCSC (National Cybersecurity Centre — المركز الوطني للأمن السيبراني) which coordinates national cybersecurity strategy and incident response. The Jordan Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023 introduces mandatory data protection requirements for organizations processing personal data of Jordanian residents, with implications for connected wireless devices that collect, transmit, or process user data (smart home, wearables, IoT with cloud services). For mainstream consumer wireless IoT devices (Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth accessories, consumer IoT) sold to end users in Jordan, there is no mandatory pre-market product cybersecurity certification scheme equivalent to the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) as of 2026; cybersecurity best practices are advisory for general consumer products. However, manufacturers of devices targeting critical infrastructure verticals (energy, water, telecommunications, government networks) or enterprise deployments in Jordan must assess applicable NITC and NCSC cybersecurity requirements before deployment. The Personal Data Protection Law No. 24/2023 is directly relevant for any wireless device that processes personal data of Jordanian users through connected services.Jordan Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023 NITC (National Information Technology Center) — ICT policy and government digital infrastructure guidelines (Jordan) NCSC (National Cybersecurity Centre) — National Cybersecurity Strategy (Jordan) Jordan Cybersecurity Law and related regulations (Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship) |
For consumer wireless IoT devices, both Jordan and China treat general cybersecurity as advisory rather than mandatory pre-market certification as of 2026 — the gap for mainstream consumer products is low. The meaningful gap arises in two areas: (1) the Jordan Personal Data Protection Law No. 24/2023 imposes data protection obligations for connected devices processing personal data of Jordanian users, which differs in scope and enforcement from China's PIPL — exporters with connected services or cloud backends must conduct a Jordan PDPL compliance assessment; (2) for devices targeting critical infrastructure or government networks in Jordan, NITC and NCSC requirements apply with no direct Chinese MLPS product-level equivalent. SRRC and CCC approvals do not include any cybersecurity assessment.[INFORMATIONAL] Jordan cybersecurity requirements are advisory for general consumer wireless IoT devices as of 2026, but the Personal Data Protection Law No. 24/2023 imposes mandatory data protection obligations for connected devices processing Jordanian users' personal data. Devices targeting critical infrastructure or government networks in Jordan must assess NITC and NCSC requirements. SRRC and CCC do not cover cybersecurity. Manufacturers with connected cloud services must conduct a Jordan PDPL compliance assessment separately from TRC type approval. | NCSC — National Cybersecurity Centre (Jordan / المركز الوطني للأمن السيبراني)2026-06-17 · reference |
| Electrical Safety — IEC 62368-1 under JISM/JS Standards, 230 V / 50 Hz / Mixed Plug Types (B, C, G) | China uses 220 V AC / 50 Hz with Type I (two or three flat-pin) and Type A plug sockets. Electrical safety for IT and AV equipment is governed by GB 4943.1 (equivalent to IEC 60950-1) and progressively GB 4943.23 (equivalent to IEC 62368-1). CCC certification covers electrical safety for products listed in the CCC catalogue. Chinese products tested to GB 4943.1 hold CCC marks but are rated for 220 V with Type I or A plugs, not 230 V with Type B or G plugs.GB 4943.1-2011 (IT equipment safety — equivalent to IEC 60950-1) GB 4943.23-2023 (audio/video/IT equipment safety — equivalent to IEC 62368-1) CCC (China Compulsory Certification) — electrical safety scope GB 1002 / GB 2099 (Chinese plug and socket standards) |
Jordan operates at 230 V AC / 50 Hz mains supply. Jordan has a mixed plug environment reflecting both US and British colonial legacy: Type B (NEMA 5-15, US two/three-pin flat) and Type G (BS 1363, UK three-pin rectangular) sockets are both widely present, with Type C and Type F also found in older buildings and some regions. Electrical safety compliance for information and communications technology equipment and audio/video equipment is required to IEC 62368-1 (or its predecessor IEC 60950-1 for products in transitional scope) as adopted under JISM Jordan Standards (JS) equivalents. JISM oversees electrical safety standards. Mains-powered wireless devices must demonstrate electrical safety conformance against applicable JS standards as part of JISM's conformity assessment process where the product is in JISM regulated scope. Products must be physically compatible with Jordan mains supply (230 V / 50 Hz); Chinese Type I (two or three flat pins) or Type A plugs are not natively compatible. A Type G or Type B plug with 230 V rating is typically required depending on the target Jordanian market segment; universal adapters are common but product-level compliance is the manufacturer's responsibility.IEC 62368-1:2018 (Audio/video, IT and communication technology equipment safety — 3rd edition) IEC 60950-1 (transitional — legacy products) JISM Jordan Standards (JS) — IEC 62368-1 adoption BS 1363 / Type G plug standard NEMA 5-15 / Type B plug standard Jordan Consumer Protection Law |
Jordan uses 230 V / 50 Hz with a mixed plug environment (Type B and Type G sockets most common, Type C/F also present), while China uses 220 V / 50 Hz with Type I or A plugs. Wireless devices with mains power supplies must be rated for 230 V and supplied with or compatible with appropriate plug types for the Jordanian market. CCC electrical safety certification to GB 4943.1 is not recognised in Jordan; IEC 62368-1 test evidence under JISM/JS standards is required where the product is in JISM regulated scope. Power supply unit rating for 230 V or dual-voltage (100-240 V) specification is strongly recommended. The mixed plug environment means exporters should specify plug type in their commercial documentation and consider providing Type G or universal adapters.[INFORMATIONAL] Electrical safety compliance to IEC 62368-1 under JISM Jordan Standards (JS) is required for mains-powered wireless devices sold in Jordan. Jordan uses 230 V / 50 Hz with a mixed plug environment (Type B and G most common); Chinese power accessories rated for 220 V with Type I or A plugs must be adapted. CCC certification to GB 4943.1 is not accepted as a substitute. Dual-voltage (100-240 V) power supplies and a Type G or Type B plug are recommended for the Jordanian market. | JISM — Jordan Institution for Standards and Metrology (مؤسسة المواصفات والمقاييس)2026-06-17 · reference |
| EMC Testing to ETSI / JS Standards (TRC Type Approval Requirement) | In China, EMC compliance for IT and radio equipment is governed by GB/T 9254 (conducted and radiated emissions for ISM/IT equipment) and GB 17625.1 (harmonic current emissions). SRRC type approval includes radio parameter measurements but does not encompass the full ETSI EN 301 489 EMC test scope. CCC certification includes EMC under GB/T 9254 for in-scope products.GB/T 9254-2008 / GB/T 9254.1-2021 (IT equipment EMC emissions) GB 17625.1 (Harmonic current emissions) SRRC type approval (radio parameter testing, not full EMC) |
TRC type approval requires EMC test reports from an accredited laboratory demonstrating conformance with ETSI or equivalent standards applicable to the device category. For Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, ETSI EN 301 489-1 (common EMC requirements for radio equipment) and ETSI EN 301 489-17 (specific for wideband data/WLAN/Bluetooth) are the primary referenced standards. For other radio categories (LoRa/SRD, cellular), the corresponding ETSI EN 301 489 sub-part applies. JISM (Jordan Institution for Standards and Metrology) publishes Jordan Standards (JS) that frequently adopt IEC, ETSI, or ISO standards — JS equivalents to IEC 61000 series immunity standards may also be referenced. EMC test evidence is submitted as part of the TRC type approval application dossier. Chinese GB EMC standards (GB/T 9254, GB 17625) are not accepted by TRC.ETSI EN 301 489-1 v2.2.3 (Common EMC requirements for radio equipment) ETSI EN 301 489-17 v3.2.4 (EMC for wideband data and HIPERLAN) ETSI EN 301 489-3 (SRD / LoRa EMC) ETSI EN 301 489-52 (LTE/5G NR EMC) IEC 61000-4 series (immunity test methods) JISM Jordan Standards (JS) — IEC/ETSI adoptions for EMC |
TRC requires EMC evidence to ETSI EN 301 489 series standards, which differ in test methods, limits, and frequency ranges from Chinese GB/T 9254. A new EMC test campaign at a TRC-accepted accredited laboratory is required. Existing SRRC and CCC EMC reports to GB standards cannot be reused for TRC. The ETSI EN 301 489 framework also covers immunity testing (IEC 61000-4 series) which is not part of the SRRC scope. JISM JS standards may additionally reference IEC 61000 immunity requirements independently of TRC; exporters should confirm applicable JS standards for their specific product category with JISM before shipment.[INFORMATIONAL] EMC testing to ETSI EN 301 489 series at a TRC-accepted accredited laboratory is required as part of TRC type approval for Jordan. Chinese GB/T 9254 and SRRC EMC test reports are not accepted by TRC. Verify applicable JISM Jordan Standards (JS) for your specific product category. | TRC — Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (Jordan)2026-06-17 · reference |
| JISM Jordan Standards (JS) Conformity — Regulated Electrical and Electronic Product Categories | In China, CCC (China Compulsory Certification) is the mandatory product safety and EMC scheme for products listed in the CCC compulsory catalogue, administered by CNCA. GB 4943.1 covers IT and AV equipment safety; GB/T 9254 covers EMC emissions. CCC mark must appear on in-scope products before sale in China.CCC (China Compulsory Certification) — CNCA GB 4943.1 (IT equipment safety) GB/T 9254 (EMC emissions) |
JISM (Jordan Institution for Standards and Metrology — مؤسسة المواصفات والمقاييس) publishes Jordan Standards (JS) that adopt or adapt IEC, ISO, ETSI, and other international standards. Regulated electrical and electronic consumer products may require JISM conformity assessment and certification against applicable JS standards before sale in Jordan. Wireless IoT devices and consumer electronics with mains-connected power supplies may fall within JISM's regulated product scope in addition to TRC type approval. JISM conformity obligations are separate from and additive to TRC type approval; both may be required simultaneously for mains-powered wireless consumer products. Exporters should confirm the current JISM regulated product schedule and applicable JS standards for their device category prior to shipment.Jordan Standards (JS) series — JISM (adoptions of IEC/ETSI/ISO) JISM conformity assessment procedures Jordan Consumer Protection Law (Ministry of Industry and Trade) IEC 61000 series (adopted as JS equivalents for EMC immunity) |
CCC certification is not recognised in Jordan by JISM or TRC. Where a wireless device falls within the JISM regulated product scope, a separate conformity assessment against applicable JS standards is required. JS standards are typically IEC/ETSI adoptions, so test data generated to IEC or ETSI standards may be usable but must be submitted to and assessed by JISM through its proper conformity assessment channels. Importers should verify whether their specific product category is listed under the current JISM regulated product schedule before shipment.[INFORMATIONAL] JISM conformity assessment against applicable Jordan Standards (JS) may be mandatory for regulated electrical and electronic product categories sold in Jordan, in addition to TRC type approval. CCC certification is not accepted. Verify the current JISM regulated product schedule and applicable JS standards for your specific device category before export. | JISM — Jordan Institution for Standards and Metrology (مؤسسة المواصفات والمقاييس)2026-06-17 · reference |
| Authorized Local Importer / Agent, Arabic Labelling, and Jordan Free Zone (ASEZ) Considerations | In China, the MIIT Network Access License (NAL) must be held by the manufacturer or its authorized representative. The CCC certificate holder (manufacturer or appointed agent) is responsible for placing the CCC mark on in-scope products. Distributors and importers do not require a separate licence but must source from CCC-certified channels. Products sold in China bonded zones or pilot free trade zones for re-export are exempt from CCC, but any transition to domestic retail triggers full CCC obligations. Chinese product labels must include Chinese-language text under China's consumer goods labelling regulations.MIIT Network Access License (NAL) — Measures for Administration of Telecom Equipment Access CCC Authorized Applicant and Certificate Holder Rules (CNCA) China Pilot Free Trade Zone CCC Exemption Rules (for re-export only) China Consumer Goods Labelling Regulations (Chinese language) |
A locally registered importer or authorized distributor/agent is required for importing and selling wireless equipment in Jordan. The TRC approval number and TRC conformity mark must appear visibly on the device label and product packaging. Arabic-language labelling is mandatory under the Jordan Consumer Protection Law (administered by the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply); product labels, user manuals, and safety instructions must include Arabic. Jordan Free Zones — notably the Aqaba Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) under the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) — offer streamlined customs procedures and reduced duties for transit and re-export; however, products entering the Jordanian domestic market from an ASEZ or other free zone for local sale remain subject to TRC type approval, JISM conformity obligations, and Arabic labelling requirements without exemption. Unauthorized importation or sale of unapproved wireless equipment is an offence under Jordan telecommunications law. Jordan-Israel-Palestine regional logistics dynamics may affect cross-border electronics flows into Jordan; exporters should verify import routing, applicable customs categories, and whether any regional restrictions apply to their specific product category.Jordan Telecommunications Law No. 13 of 1995 (as amended) — equipment import/sale obligations TRC Type Approval Conditions — Authorized Importer and Label Requirements Jordan Consumer Protection Law (Arabic labelling — Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Supply) Aqaba Special Economic Zone Law and ASEZA Regulations (free zone import procedures) Jordan Customs Law (import categories and duties for electronic equipment) |
Jordan requires a locally registered importer or authorized agent — this is a Jordan-specific obligation with no direct CCC/NAL equivalent. Arabic-language labelling is mandatory in Jordan; China-market products labelled in Chinese only must be relabelled or supplementary Arabic labels added before Jordan import and sale. ASEZ free zone entry for re-export does not waive TRC type approval or JISM requirements for Jordan domestic sale, unlike China's bonded zone CCC exemption. The TRC approval number must appear on the physical label; China-market products labelled with SRRC/CCC numbers require relabelling. Jordan-Israel-Palestine regional logistics dynamics and potential regional trade restrictions should be assessed during import planning.[INFORMATIONAL] A locally registered importer or authorized agent is mandatory for all wireless equipment sold in Jordan. TRC approval number and TRC conformity mark must appear on device label and packaging. Arabic-language labelling is mandatory under the Jordan Consumer Protection Law. ASEZ free zone entry for re-export does not exempt the product from TRC type approval for Jordanian domestic sale. Relabelling from Chinese-market SRRC/CCC labels to include TRC approval number and Arabic text is typically required. | TRC — Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (Jordan)2026-06-17 · reference |
| TRC Mandatory Radio Type Approval (Telecommunications Law No. 13 of 1995) | In China, radio type approval is administered by MIIT/SRRC (State Radio Regulation of China). Telecom terminal equipment (devices connecting to public telecom networks) additionally requires a MIIT Network Access License (NAL). CCC (China Compulsory Certification) covers electrical safety and EMC for in-scope products under the CCC catalogue. GB standards and SRRC/CCC marks are applicable only within China.MIIT SRRC Radio Type Approval (Regulations on Radio Administration, Article 58) MIIT Network Access License (NAL) — Measures for Telecom Equipment Access CCC (GB 4943.1 safety, GB/T 9254 EMC) |
All radio and telecom terminal equipment (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, LoRa, IoT, and any device using radio spectrum) must obtain TRC mandatory type approval under Jordan Telecommunications Law No. 13 of 1995 (as amended) before import or sale in Jordan. The TRC conformity mark and TRC approval number must appear visibly on the device and its packaging label. Approval requires test reports from an accredited laboratory to ETSI or equivalent standards accepted by TRC; the Jordan National Frequency Plan governs spectrum use and confirms 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi operation is permitted under TRC licence conditions. CE Declaration of Conformity, FCC ID, and SRRC certificates are not accepted as substitutes by TRC. There is no regional mutual recognition arrangement equivalent to the GCC MRA that extends recognition to China, EU, or US approvals for Jordan.Jordan Telecommunications Law No. 13 of 1995 (as amended) TRC Type Approval Procedures and Requirements (Jordan) Jordan National Frequency Plan (TRC) ETSI EN 300 328 (2.4 GHz WLAN/Bluetooth) ETSI EN 301 893 (5 GHz WLAN) ETSI EN 300 220 (SRD / LoRa) ITU-R Radio Regulations (international spectrum) |
TRC type approval is a wholly independent process from SRRC, CCC, CE, or FCC. Neither SRRC approval nor CCC certification is recognised by TRC. Jordan has no regional mutual recognition arrangement that extends to Chinese, EU, or US approvals. A fresh TRC application with accredited-lab test reports, TRC conformity mark, and TRC approval number on label is required for every model imported or sold in Jordan. Spectrum parameters must comply with the Jordan National Frequency Plan; confirmation of permitted frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz) and applicable power limits under TRC conditions is required.[INFORMATIONAL] TRC type approval and the TRC conformity mark are mandatory for all wireless and telecom terminal equipment imported or sold in Jordan under Telecommunications Law No. 13 of 1995. SRRC, CCC, CE DoC, and FCC ID are not accepted substitutes. Jordan has no regional mutual recognition arrangement extending to Chinese approvals. | TRC — Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (Jordan / هيئة تنظيم قطاع الاتصالات)2026-06-17 · reference |
