New Guidelines for the use of the IFT seal

The Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones (IFT) issued the non-binding opinion on the Regulatory Impact Analysis of the “Guidelines for the use of the IFT seal on approved products, equipment, devices or apparatus intended for telecommunications or broadcasting.”
 
These guidelines have provisions and specifications for using a seal with a graphic element to easily identify certified products through marking or labeling.
 
The IFT Seal is part of the IFT’s graphic identity and must be printed in 100% positive black or 100% negative black, while respecting protection areas and minimum printing dimensions. Homologation Certificate holders, subsidiaries, and importers, where applicable, must use the IFT Seal while adhering to the established specifications.
 
A transition period of 180 days has been set from the date of publication in the official journal. During this time, the regulations will only apply to products certified after the effective date. Products that have previously obtained a Homologation Certificate can retain their existing IFT marking.

Trinidad and Tobago Telecommunications Authority Implements Updated Regulations for Equipment Certification

The Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT) has recently introduced updated regulations regarding the certification of telecommunications equipment. According to the new rules outlined in the “Equipment Standardisation and Certification Framework for the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Sectors,” certified equipment must undergo recertification once the term of the previously certified device has expired.

Under the revised regulations, equipment certificates will now have a validity period of five years. However, if the operating parameters of the devices remain unchanged, the recertification process will be expedited, ensuring a smoother and more efficient procedure.

Stakeholders and industry participants are encouraged to review the details of the updated framework, which can be found in the official document released by TATT here.

Thailand Implements New Labeling Standards for Personal Computers and Related Equipment

In a move aimed at enhancing consumer awareness and protection, the Office of the Consumer Protection Board (OCPB) in Thailand has recently issued a statement introducing comprehensive labeling standards for personal computers and related equipment. The new guidelines, effective from November 1, 2023, apply exclusively to products sold within the country.

The key requirement of the new standards is that product labels must prominently feature the Thai language, ensuring accessibility for local consumers. However, the guidelines also allow for additional information to be provided in foreign languages to cater to the diverse consumer base.

The detailed label for personal computers must include the following information, providing consumers with a clear and transparent understanding of the product:

  1. Name of the type of goods
  2. Manufacturer’s name or trademark registered in Thailand
  3. Name or trademark of the person who ordered or imported it into Thailand
  4. Country of manufacture (for imported goods)
  5. Location of the producer or importer in Thailand
  6. Size, dimensions, quantity, volume, or weight of the goods
  7. Product details, including screen size, CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and operating system
  8. Instructions for use
  9. Recommendations for use or storage
  10. Date of manufacture
  11. Information about product development, production, and spare parts
  12. Product quality guarantee period, spare parts reserve, and service center contact information (if applicable)

The OCPB emphasizes that these labeling standards are designed to empower consumers by providing them with comprehensive information about the products they purchase, fostering transparency and informed decision-making.

For businesses involved in the manufacturing, ordering, or importing of personal computers and related equipment in Thailand, compliance with these labeling standards is now mandatory. The guidelines are set to contribute to a more accountable and consumer-friendly marketplace.

The official announcement and detailed guidelines can be accessed on the Office of the Consumer Protection Board’s website. Stakeholders and the general public are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new standards, and businesses are advised to ensure swift compliance to avoid any regulatory implications.

CSR Singapore updates the Cybersecurity Labelling Scheme CLS (IoT)

In a significant move to enhance the Cybersecurity Labelling Scheme for IoT (CLS(IoT)) program, several impactful changes will be implemented from September 22, 2023. These changes are designed to elevate security provisions, simplify the application process, and ensure a more robust certification framework for developers and manufacturers.

Key Changes and Improvements:

  1. Approval of CLS(IoT) Testing Laboratories (TLs):

    • Effective from September 22, 2023, CLS(IoT) Testing Laboratories (TLs) are now authorized to conduct reviews of the declaration of conformity for all CLS(IoT) levels. Developers and manufacturers can engage CLS(IoT) TLs to facilitate a comprehensive review process. Further details are available on the CLS(IoT) publications page.

  2. Introduction of CCC SP-151-4 CLS(IoT) Assessment Methodology v1.0:

    • A new publication, CCC SP-151-4 CLS(IoT) Assessment Methodology v1.0, has been unveiled. This document serves as a guide, offering clarifications on the specific requirements of each security provision. It outlines what is expected from IoT devices to meet security provisions, aiding assessors in evaluating evidence.

  3. CLS(IoT) Application Process Moves to GoBusiness Portal:

    • The CLS(IoT) application process has transitioned entirely to the GoBusiness Portal. This shift is aimed at streamlining application intake, allowing manufacturers and developers to make payments directly on the site, thus reducing project lead times.

  4. Revised Documents for CLS(IoT) Applications:

  5. Enhanced Binary Scan for CLS(IoT) Level 3 and Level 4:

    • The binary scan, a mandatory requirement for CLS(IoT) Level 3 and Level 4, has been enhanced. Developers and testing laboratories must now ensure thorough scrutiny, addressing all known vulnerabilities in the device’s software components and declared components in the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). Detailed information is available in the CCC SP-151-2 CLS(IoT) Scheme Specifications v1.3 publication.

These updates within the CLS(IoT) program signify a commitment to continual improvement, security, and efficiency. Developers and manufacturers are encouraged to explore the CLS(IoT) publications page for comprehensive insights into the recent advancements in the certification process.
