As previously issued by IFT, the new Technical Disposition for SAR requirements, or DT-012 as it is known, issued on February 26th of 2020, enters into force after one year, meaning now on February 26th of 2021. From this date, the Laboratories in Mexico shall request their Accreditation and as soon as they are approved, these tests will become mandatory in the Country.
This is important to reinforce because of the main characteristics of SAR tests that are:
-Applicable to products, equipment, or devices that have radio frequency transmitter or transceiver, operating from 30 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range
-Used near the head, particularly near the ear, in the frequency range 300 MHz to 6 GHz
-Or at a distance less than or equal to 200 mm from the human body, in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 6 GHz
Please also remember that existing and valid Telecom Certification and Homologation will not change and will remain valid as they are. This is valid for the new processes starting after February 26th.
If you have any questions related to the new SAR requirement, please let us know.
