DTT Conformance Certification

To ensure that all digital terrestrial television (DTT) receivers sold on the Ghana market conform to acceptable receiver standards, the National Communications Authority has published standards for DTT receivers (set-top boxes, integrated digital television sets, etc.). A conformance regime has been instituted and shall require all DTT receivers such as set-top boxes (STBs) and integrated digital TV sets (iDTVs) sold in Ghana to pass a conformance test to be certified to use a receiver certification logo i.e., the Ghana thumb logos. The logo will confirm to consumers that the receiver is Ghana DTT compliant.

The Authority has accredited and shortlisted eligible test labs to provide standard tests on all models of set-top boxes (STBs) and integrated digital television sets (iDTVs), to verify that these DTT receivers conform to the Minimum Requirements for Free to Air (FTA) Digital Television Receivers.
