Mexico: New Conformity Assessment Procedure for Telecommunication Products, and Technical Standard for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing
Tuesday, March 2, 2021
IFT, as per its acronym in Spanish), effective February 25, 2021, the Certificates of Conformity (
CoC) covering telecom products will no longer be transferable, and the certificates obtained by individual components cannot be extended to the final product. Therefore, each importer, distributor or seller of telecom products in Mexico must obtain their own Technical Standards (
NOMs, as per its acronym in Spanish) CoC, and the required subsequent IFT Approval (also referred here as homologation). We should note that holders of CoCs issued prior to February 25, 2021, still need to obtain the corresponding IFT Approval for them not to lose their validity.
