Honduras’ telecommunications regulator, Comisión Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CONATEL), has temporarily suspended its type approval processes due to an ongoing government transition. The pause affects all pending and new homologation applications for telecommunications and radio equipment.
At this time, there is no confirmed timeline for when approvals will resume.
Regulatory Review Pending New Appointments
The suspension is linked to the appointment of new commissioners who will assume oversight of CONATEL. Until the new leadership is formally installed, the authority is not advancing evaluations, issuing certificates, or providing formal determinations on submitted applications.
All processes currently in queue are effectively on hold while the incoming commissioners conduct their review and determine how type approval procedures will move forward under their administration.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the appointment timeline and potential procedural updates, early planning and contingency strategies are recommended for manufacturers with upcoming launch schedules in the region. Global Validity is actively monitoring developments and will provide updates as soon as CONATEL resumes operations or issues further regulatory guidance .
