2021年5月，印度電信部發佈了《電信設備強制性測試和認證程式》的2.1版，取代2018年版的《電信設備強制性測試和認證程式 (MTCTE)》。為了維持供應鏈管理，向OEM / AIRs一次放寬六個月的時間，對於第一階段和第二階段通知的所有產品，2018年第2.0版的標籤準則將一直有效到30.11.2021，從01.12.2021開始，必須遵守修訂的MTCTE程式 (2.1版) 指南。

2021年以及2018年不同處的關鍵點：

• 增加了管控產品範圍 – 同時縮減了不管控的產品清單
• 增強了市場監管措施
• 規範了銘牌細節及申請流程

In May 2021, the Indian Department of Telecommunications published Version 2.1 of the Procedure for Mandatory Testing & Certification of Telecommunication Equipment.

It supersedes the Procedure for Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecommunications Equipment (MTCTE), Version 2.0, 2018.

Further, to maintain the supply chain management, OEMs/AIRs have been provided one-time relaxation of six months up to 30.11.2021 from printing above revised TEC certification labelling information on telecom/related ICT products, certified in MTCTE Phase-1 and Phase-2.

However, labelling guidelines as per Version 2.0, 2018 shall remain in force up to 30.11.2021 for all the products notified in phase-I and II which means OEMs will have the option to choose out of old/new labelling requirements during this intervening period i.e. up to 30.11.2021.

Further, it shall be mandatory to comply with the revised MTCTE procedure (ver 2.1) guidelines from 01.12.2021 onwards.

Brazil 巴西

2021年4月29日，巴西國家計量，標準化和工業品質研究所 (INMETRO/CONMETRO) 批准第194號協定，以鞏固市場監督規則。第194號協議於2021年6月1日生效。

On 29 April 2021 Brazil’s National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality (INMETRO/CONMETRO) approved Portaria No. 194 consolidating the rules on market surveillance.

The Portaria establishes procedures for market surveillance and obligations of suppliers of products, inputs, and services regulated by Inmetro referenced in Article 3, item IV of Law No. 9.933/1999.

According to Article 3 products, supplies and services regulated by Inmetro will be monitored in the national market through market surveillance actions, with suppliers subject to the application of the appropriate measures when irregularities or non-conformities are identified. Market surveillance should be understood as the set of measures and activities carried out by Inmetro to inspect and verify that products, inputs and services meet the requirements established in the technical legislation within the scope of its competence.

Per Article 4, certain information and compliance identification are mandatory. Objects subject to compulsory conformity assessment must bear Inmetro’s conformity identification seal or, when applicable, the labels referring to the Brazilian Labeling Program (PBE), with all the mandatory information clearly visible to the consumer at the sales point.

This label cannot be removed from the product or have its visualization obstructed by any other information attached by suppliers and, in the case of e-commerce, the image and information of the label must be on the supplier’s website, and other electronic means, in an easily visible place on the pages where the product specification is located.

• Suppliers have certain obligations in the event of non-compliance, as follows:
• inform Inmetro within forty-eight hours of learning that he has sold an object that offers a potential risk to the health and safety of the consumer and the environment;
• inform Inmetro, within ten days, of all corrective actions taken to remedy the identified risk;
• perform any other actions that Inmetro may consider appropriate to increase the effectiveness of those already adopted;
• observe the established procedure for recall provided by the current legislation where required.

Portaria No. 194 will enter into force on 1 June 2021.

South Korea 韓國

2021年5月12日，韓國技術標準局 (KATS) 發佈對不符合安全標準的家用產品缺陷等級評定標準的修正案，於2021年5月12日生效。

On 12 May 2021, the South Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) issued an amendment to the Criteria for Rating Defects in Household Products Not Conforming to Safety Standards.

The amendment was issued to reflect changes due to the enactment and amendment of safety standards for certain household products.

Specifically, the document changes non-conformity treatment standards with regard to the performance of electric boards including electric skateboards and electric kick boards among products subject to safety verification, by deleting batteries tests and adding the marking and safety report of batteries.

The amendment further improves treatment standards of sunglasses and eyeglass frames among products subject to safety standards, by classifying them into safety requirements and labeling items.

South Korea 韓國

[法規草案] 2021年5月12日，韓國技術標準局 (KATS) 發佈了《電氣設備和消費品安全控制法案》的修訂草案。 發佈該草案是為了確定有關模組化產品的規定，以作為監管沙箱的後續措施。

On 12 May 2021, the South Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) issued a draft amendment to the Operation Bulletin of Electrical Appliances and Consumer Products Safety Control Act.

The draft was issued to establish provisions on modular products as the follow-up measures of the regulatory sandbox.

Specifically, the draft adds definitions of “module” and “modular products” in Article 2 as follows:

• modules are not individually electrical appliances subject to safety management, but they can be combined with modular products and change the detailed items subject to safety management;
• modular products can be combined with one or more modules, and detailed items subject to safety management can be changed through the addition and separation of modules at the place of consumption.

Among modular products, products that are combined at the place of consumption are regarded as the same models as products that are combined at the production place before release and obtained KC certification, and the detailed model classification, standards and detailed ranges that directly affect safety are applied.

Marking for detailed items that change when a module is added or separated must be indicated on each module. Furthermore, in order to avoid misunderstanding between the existing indications and the changed indications after the adding or separating of the modules, the existing indications should not be visible from the outside when the module is combined.

Interested parties are required to submit their comments to dy7824@korea.kr before 1 June 2021.
