Singapore’s Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) has released updates to its technical specifications for Cellular Mobile Terminals (CMT), effective in 2024. The key changes include updates to RF EMF safety standards, requiring compliance with IEC/EN 62209-1528 from October 2025. Additionally, CMT manufacturers must include Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) or power density information in user manuals.
