    Vietnam MIC wireless new Circular 11/2020/TT-BTTTT

    June 30, 2020
    General

    MIC Type approval Vietnam has officially released Circular No. 11/2020/TT-BTTTT to replace Circular No. 05/2019/TT-BTTTT – Regulations on list of products subjected to MIC Type Approval certification and Declaration of Conformity.

    The new Circular shall take effect from July 01, 2020, with several new National Technical Regulations and Circular 10/2020/TT-BTTTT which are introduced by MIC Vietnam recently.

     

    Summary:

    (1)Update newly-introduced National Technical Regulation QCVN 86:2019/BTTTTand QCVN 119:2019/BTTTT to the list. QCVN 86:2019/BTTTT shall replace QCVN 86:2015/BTTTT and QCVN 18:2014/BTTTT as EMC requirement for 2G/3G/4G LTE terminal devices.

    (2)Adding terminal device, base station, and repeater used in 5th generation of the cellular network (5G) to the list. QCVN 47:2015/BTTTT and QCVN 18:2014/BTTTT shall be temporarily used as RF and RF requirements for 5G device until MIC introduce National Technical Regulations specifically composed for 5G devices.

    (3)Move wireless inductive loop charger, telemetry instrument, MISC and MITS device, radio access in 60 GHz band device, radar used on maritime ships and vessels, and digital image transmission device from Annex I to Annex II. These devices are going to be under the mandatory Declaration of Conformity scheme only.

    (4)Detailing descriptions and HS Codes for some SRDs to make the list clearer. Active RFID tag (having a power source) is listed under RFID product group, a passive RFID tag is still exempted.

    (5)Detailing RFID reader and RFID tag used for automatic toll collection system (operate in 920 – 923 MHz band, RF power can exceed 500mW ERP) to accommodate the market requirements.

    (6)Allow some test items of specific national technical regulations to be exempted due to some reasons:

    – Cost related to such test items is high and requiring long testing time (requirement on performance of QCVN 101:2016/TT-BTTTTT for lithium batteries).

    – Requirement on the QCVN itself is not very clear or making confusion (item 2.6.2.7 of QCVN 101:2016/TT-BTTTT).

    – Local laboratories are not able to test some specific test items yet (requirements on DVB-T of QCVN 63:2013/BTTTT or some national technical regulations applicable for maritime equipment).

    (7)All the Type Approval certificates and Notification for Acceptance of Conformity which has been issued before July 01, 2020 shall keep its validity continuously until the expiry date or new applicable technical regulations enter in effect.

    Additional info:

    (1) Product Description for tablet does not list cellular mobile network interfaces (2G/3G/4G LTE / 5G) but pursuant to item 2 of Article 4 of this Circular, Type Approval certification and Declaration of Conformity for these interfaces shall still be required if the tablet PC has such interfaces/functions.

    (2) MIC has intend to move wireless Audio from Annex I to Annex II (according to the first darft version of this Circular) but finally the wireless Audio device is still listed under Annex I.

    (3) At this moment local labs are still not able to test 5G terminal device yet due to lacking of equipment. So MIC may release a temporary guidance for 5G terminal device or local laboratories must purchase such test equipment soon.

    Cambodia-TRC
    Cambodia TRC Regulatory Updates
    March 21, 2024
    On December 11th, 2023, the head leader of Cambodia's Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia (TRC) issued a notification to all officers regarding the review of type approval documents, emphasizing the importance of consistency between the information provided in test reports and that submitted by clients. This notification clarified that previously accepted practices, such as using the product name and country of origin as claimed by the client, should now align precisely with the details presented in the test report. Following discussions and confirmations, TRC officers reaffirmed on December 27th, 2023, that this new rule must be adhered to for all future projects seeking type approval. For submissions with one country of origin, the test report must indicate the CoO. In cases where a product has more than one country of origin, the report should display one CoO, with any additional CoOs declared in a separate declaration letter. Moreover, TRC explicitly stated that reports lacking any indication of country of origin will not be accepted under these new guidelines. This adjustment aims to enhance accuracy and consistency in reviewing type approval submissions.

    SIRIM_MCMC_Certification
    Malaysia SIRIM-MCMC Regulatory Updates
    March 21, 2024
    The Malaysia SIRIM CMCS Department, responsible for MCMC certification, recently implemented a significant update regarding Intellectual Property (IP) Forms for Type Approval applications. These forms replace the trademark authorization letter to improve efficiency and accuracy in approvals. The new IP Forms categorize trademark declarations based on whether the applicant has obtained authorization from the trademark/brand owner. For applicants who have been authorized, the required documents include evidence of a registration certificate issued by the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO). Or an equivalent foreign organization, along with an Intellectual Property (IP) Authorization Letter (eTAC/FOR/01-8). On the other hand, if the applicant has not obtained written consent and authorization to use the trademark/brand, they must submit the Intellectual Property (IP) Undertaking form issued by the applicant (eTAC/FOR/01-9). Importantly, these new forms are effective immediately and will be used for all new projects. They mark a significant shift in SIRIM's approach. The organization can now accept brands/trademarks that have not been officially authorized by the brand owner. However, in such cases, the importer must provide a written declaration accepting responsibility. Furthermore, the new Brand name authorization process requires both the Brand owner and the Importer to co-sign the Brand name authorization letter. This updated procedure aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the approval process for Type Approval applications, ultimately benefiting both applicants and consumers in Malaysia.

    India Regulatory Updates
    March 21, 2024
    India TEC issued a notification in January 2024 regarding generic exemptions for products without available test labs.  In January 2024, India's Telecommunications Engineering Centre (TEC) issued a significant notification regarding generic exemptions due to the absence of available test laboratories within the country. These exemptions represent a crucial development, indicating that specific parameters no longer require the submission of test reports if customers cannot provide them. It's important to note that while these exemptions are in place, ILAC reports for CE/FCC are still subject to regulations based on the specific product category. This means that evaluation criteria for these reports vary depending on the nature of the product. Furthermore, TEC has specified product categories that continue to accept ILAC reports. Notably, the validation for these exemptions has been extended until June 30, 2024, with the potential for further extensions based on the evolving circumstances. These updates underscore TEC's commitment to adapting regulations to facilitate market access while maintaining stringent quality standards in the telecommunications sector. TEC approves testing exemptions for several product categories under their mandatory testing and certification program The Telecommunications Engineering Centre (TEC), under the Ministry of Communications, recently issued a notification regarding the approval of test requirements exemptions for certain product categories that necessitate mandatory testing and certification.
