PTCRB Certification

Ensure your devices can access key networks with PTCRB certification.

Meet the requirements of 5G mobile network operators in North America (and certain countries/carriers in Latin and South America) with testing against the PCS Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB) standards from SGS.

The PTCRB is a global organization created by mobile network operators in 1997 to define test specifications and processes to ensure device interoperability on global wireless networks and provide an independent evaluation process to device manufacturers for Cellular Type Certification. It authorizes third-party laboratories, primary labs, to conduct their testing regime.

The PTCRB certification program provides confidence that devices conform to global standards and perform optimally on mobile wireless networks.

PTCRB has different certification schemes for mobile devices, modules and integrated IoT end devices.

To help you achieve PTCRB certification our global network of wireless testing facilities holds primary lab status. Choose SGS as your third-party certification supplier and we will conduct all the required testing, to PTCRB standards, and submit the documentation to the PTCRB’s certification database. Your certification will be evaluated by CTIA (the Wireless Association) and if all requirements have been met your certification notice issued.

Network operators who belong to the PTCRB require all devices to be PTCRB certified and may block devices which are not. Devices which are not certified may not be able to obtain service when roaming onto a network.
