The GMA Consult Group kindly informs you that the modified Conformity Assessment Procedure in the field of telecommunications and broadcasting equipment (PEC Regulations) will become effective in Mexico from June 25, 2022. 

The following main changes have been made by the Mexican Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT): 

• Local importers or distributors can be included to the certificate of conformity, along with affiliates and subsidiaries of the manufacturer
• It is not mandatory for testing labs to send test reports to IFT anymore. However, IFT has the right to request labs to share test reports
• The validity of test reports was prolonged from 60 to 120 days to prevent a problem when the test report becomes invalid during the respective homologation process
• Certificate of Conformity under the “Sample by Product Model and Surveillance for more than one Lot” scheme, (Scheme 2) can be extended based on document examination procedure in case if test reports remain unchanged
• Only one sample will be required within Schemes 1 (single batch), 2 (multiple batch) and 4 (devices including modules) procedures if there are no special recommendations
• For scheme 3 (family approval), one sample of two different models will be required 
• Non-new, pre-owned products become subject to Conformity Assessment Procedure
