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.
