China 中國

[法規草案] 2021年2月19日，中國工業和資訊化部 (MIIT) 提出《無線充電設備 (輸電) 無線電管理的暫時規定》。 該法規草案旨在規範無線充電設備的使用，以避免對各種合法開發的無線電服務產生有害干擾。該提案開放徵求意見直至2021年3月20日。

On 19 February 2021, the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) proposed Interim Provisions on Radio Management of Wireless Charging Equipment (Power Transmission).

This draft regulation aims to regulate the use of wireless charging equipment to avoid harmful interference to all kinds of legally developed radio services.

The wireless charging referred to in this draft regulation refers to the use of magnetic induction, magnetic resonance, and capacitive coupling to realize near-field power transmission technology from the power source to load. Wireless charging equipment is non-radio equipment that radiates radio waves.

The regulations related to micro-power short-range radio transmission equipment do not apply to wireless charging devices.

This draft regulation applies to wireless charging equipment for mobile, portable and electric vehicles (including motorcycles).

The mobile and portable wireless charging equipment should work in the frequency bands of 100-148.5kHz, 6765-6795kHz, 13553-13567kHz, and the rated transmission power should not exceed 50W. The wireless charging equipment for electric vehicles with a rated transmission power greater than 22kW but not more than 120kW should work in the 19-21kHz frequency band, and the one with a rated transmission power not exceeding 22kW should work at 79- 90kHz frequency band.

In accordance with Article 9, the instructions of wireless chargers need to provide certain information, including product name, model, special identification, rated transmission power, operating frequency range, usage scenarios or usage conditions, disabled area for wireless charging devices, usage extreme environmental conditions, etc.

Companies that produce or import wireless charging equipment are encouraged to use voluntary certification to ensure quality, they are also encouraged to add or display special labels for wireless charging equipment before leaving the factory or before entering China.

This draft regulation proposed that from 1 January 2022, the wireless charging equipment sold and used in China shall comply with these regulations, and the wireless charging devices that have been put into use before the publication of this regulation, can in principle be used until they are scrapped.

The proposal is opened to comments from interested parties until 20 March 2021.

 

Jordan 約旦

約旦電信管理委員會發佈電信和終端設備的技術規則，標準和規範清單。這些標準和規範是強制性的，範圍內的電信產品需獲得型式認可證書才可被允許進入約旦。

In February 2021, the Jordanian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission issued a list of technical rules, standards, and specifications for telecommunications and terminal equipment.

These standards and specifications are mandatory to obtain a type approval certificate and to allow telecommunications equipment into the Kingdom. The list covers a range of areas including radio frequency, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), public health and safety, the environment, and restricting the use of hazardous substances (RoHS) for one hundred and forty types and classes of devices.

The list includes specifications for devices that use the following technologies, among others:

• 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies,
• WLAN technology,
• RFID technology,
• PSTN technology,
• Short-range devices (SRD),
• Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

Based on Article 5C of Decision No. 9-1/2020 on Type Approvals for Wired and Wireless Telecommunication Equipment, any company that aims to obtain a type approval certificate must provide the Commission with technical test reports issued by a testing laboratory. Those should include reports on radio frequency, EMC, Safety, and SAR evaluation, which prove the devices conform to the technical rules, standards, and specifications for telecommunications and terminal equipment.

 

Malaysia 馬來西亞

Mexico 墨西哥

根據2021年2月25日生效的墨西哥聯邦電信機構 (IFT) 所發佈的新的合格評定程式 (PEC)，公布了四種驗證類型，同時規定涵蓋電信產品的合格證書 (CoC) 將不再可轉讓，並且各個組件獲得的證書不能擴展至最終產品。因此，墨西哥的每個電信產品進口商，分銷商或賣方都必須獲得自己的技術標準NOM CoC，以及所需的後續IFT批准。

Under a new Conformity Assessment Procedure (PEC) issued by the Mexican Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT), effective February 25, 2021. PEC establishes four certification schemes according to the needs of the applicant, and product categories:

(i) sample by product models for a single lot;

(ii) sample by product models, and oversight for more than one lot;

(iii) sample per model family, and oversight;

(iv) sample by telecommunications or broadcasting device, and oversight.

Remark: “oversight” procedure means the Accredited Certification Body must carry out compliance monitoring visits in warehouses and points of sale owned or leased by the CoC owner.

Below are the key points for the New Conformity Assessment Procedure (PEC):

With the new PEC regulation, the certificate of conformity, test report, and expert opinion become non-transferable. Their holder is required to be the Real Importer. This allows the authority have greater traceability regarding the ownership.

After February 25 it is not possible to obtain approval of the module. Then, when a host product integrates a module that did not obtain IFT approval before, the host product will require to be certified.

Products can be certified as a family, considering that: Family is a group of models of a product intended for telecommunications, with the same brand, in which the variants between them are about aesthetic or appearance, but keeps the same technical characteristics (card for the transceiver/transmitter with the same RF path, chips, components, antenna(s), frequency(s) and technology(s) of operation) and the same functionalities. The user manual for each product model that is part of the family must show the same functionalities.

The HS code of the product must be provided directly by the customer. The customs authority in Mexico requires an 8-digit HS code. The HS Code information is very sensitive, please suggest the clients verify it first with the Mexican importer.

The regulation applies to devices subject to the following standards:

NOM-196-SCFI-2016 (IFT-004-2014)

NOM-208-SCFI-2016 (IFT-008-2015)

NOM-218-SCFI-2017 (IFT-005-2016)

NOM-221/2-SCFI-2018 (IFT-011-2017)

On February 26, 2021, the new technical standard IFT-012-2019 for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and certification entered into force.

IFT-012-2019 applies to products, equipment, or devices with a radio frequency transmitter or transceiver, that make use of radio spectrum or connect to a telecommunications network in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 6 GHz and which are used:

Near the head, particularly close to the ear, in the frequency range of 300 MHz to 6 GHz, and/or at a distance equal to or lesser than 200 mm from the human body, in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 6 GHz.

Please note that previously certified devices that fall under the aforementioned specifications must comply with the new regulations and that the testing can exclusively be done by an Accredited Certification Body located in Mexico.
