ANATEL最近發佈了新的7971法案，其中包括電信產品中IPv6協定合規性評估的技術要求。這項新法案將於2024年1月8日生效。主要變化涉及WWAN產品 – RFC 8200取代了RFC 2460標準。

ANATEL published recently the new Act 7971 with the technical requirements for IPv6 protocol compliance assessment in Telecommunication products. This new Act will come into force on January 8th, 2024.

This Act updated the requirements for IPv6 for products with WWAN, xPON, xDSL, and DOCSIS. Additionally, this standard has the following main changes:

• Changed the IPv6 standard RFC 2460 to the new RFC 8200 for the Mobile Service (WWAN).
• Formalize that for products using WWAN modules already approved by ANATEL where the entire IPv6 protocol is implement in the WWAN module (not by the host), it is possible to carry out only the IPv6 protocol verification or testing only RFC 8200 would be enough to demonstrate the host meets ANATEL IPv6 requirements. Moreover, manufacturer will need to sign a declaration informing that the IPv6 protocol is fully integrated in the module.

However, for products that the IPv6 protocol is fully or partially implemented in the host’s software/firmware (E.g., implemented in Operational System), it is required to perform all the IPv6 tests again.

Regarding the tests, the major change in the new Act compared with the actual IPv6 requirement is the replacement of the RFC 2460 standard by the RFC 8200. The other testing requirements remained the same. Below is the table with the required IPv6 standards for each technology:

TYPE OF PRODUCT	3GPP TS 36.523-1	ETSI TS 102 514	RFC 8200 (NEW STANDARD)	RFC 7084
WWAN without 3G/4G (*)	NA	NA	NA	NA
WWAN with up to 3G, without 4G	NA	Applied	Applied	NA
WWAN with 3G/4G	Applied	Applied	Applied	NA
xPON, xDSL, or DOCSIS	NA	NA	NA	Applied

Note (*): WWAN 2G and 5G NR does not need IPv6 testing.

Singapore IMDA had send out announcement yesterday 26^th July 2023 for  CESSATION OF EQUIPMENT REGISTRATION AND SALES OF 3G-ONLY MOBILE TERMINALS AND NON-VoLTE CAPABLE MOBILE/SMART PHONES  

Below are the details:

1. Under the Telecommunications (Dealers) Regulations and IMDA’s Equipment Registration Framework, dealers/equipment suppliers of cellular mobile terminals are required to register such terminals with IMDA before they may be sold for use in Singapore.
2. On 26 July 2023, IMDA together with Singtel Mobile Singapore Pte Ltd, StarHub Mobile Pte Ltd and M1 Limited (collectively the “MNOs”) announced the planned cessation of MNOs? 3G networks and the provision of 3G services, with effect from 31 July 2024.
3. With the impending cessation of the 3G networks, IMDA will stop accepting new registrations and renewals of 3G-only mobile terminals and non-VoLTE capable mobile/smart phones with effect from 1 November 2023.
4. With effect from 1 February 2024:

IMDA will de-register the approved registrations of 3G-only mobile terminals and non-VoLTE capable mobile/smart phones.

The sale of 3G-only mobile terminals and non-VoLTE capable mobile/smart phones for local use will accordingly no longer be allowed from 1 February 2024. Dealers/equipment suppliers who had previously registered such mobile terminals and mobile phones with IMDA shall stop all sale of such deregistered mobile terminals and mobile phones for local use by this date.

Only dealers/equipment suppliers who are granted Dealer (Individual) Licences by IMDA may import or offer for sale unregistered 3G-only mobile terminals and non-VoLTE capable mobile/smart phones for export purposes and/or use overseas only. In such cases, IMDA’s licence conditions in relation to the sale of non-registered telecommunication equipment will apply.

5. Dealers/equipment suppliers are required to do the following with effect from 26 July 2023:

When selling 3G-only mobile terminals and non-VoLTE capable mobile/smart phones to customers, dealers/equipment suppliers are to advise customers that 3G services will cease with effect from 31 July 2024. This will help ensure that these customers are fully aware and that they make an informed choice when purchasing such terminals/mobile phones, especially if they intend to use such terminals/mobile phones in Singapore.

If customers wish to purchase unregistered 3G-only mobile terminals and non-VoLTE capable mobile/smart phones for overseas use after 1 February 2024, dealers/equipment suppliers (who have a Dealer’s Individual Licence) may sell the mobile terminals to them, but only on the understanding that the mobile terminals are strictly for export purposes and/or for overseas use only.

6. The above measures will minimise the number of end users in Singapore who are still using 3G mobile terminals when 3G networks are gradually phased out with effect from 31 July 2024, and to avoid inconvenience to end users.
7. For customers purchasing 4G or 5G mobile/smart phones, dealers/equipment suppliers are also advised to ensure that Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is enabled, or assist the customer to enable VoLTE on the new mobile/smart phones and encourage them to make a test call to ensure that voice calls can be made through VoLTE. With the cessation of 3G networks, voice call services such as those to emergency services can only be made via VoLTE. If queried on the need to enable VoLTE, dealers/equipment suppliers should explain that the VoLTE settings are needed to make/receive voice calls, given the cessation of 3G networks.

Vietnam越南

越南資訊和通信部對認證要求/計畫實施了一些關於證書，證書持有者，以及測試報告的重大變更，詳細內容請參閱英文版。

Vietnam Ministry of Information and Communications had implemented some major changes for the Certification Requirement/Scheme

The summary of the changes are as follows:

1. No matter the Cert holder is the manufacturer or the local company, the Cert needs to list the full detail information of the manufacturer and the factory (OEM) information. If there are more than one factory, every factory should get their own type approval Certificate and the sample quantity should be prepared by the numbers of the factories.
2. No matter the Cert holder is the manufacture or the local company, the Cert will show the country of original for the factories. Previously, it is not mandatory to list the country of original if the cert holder is the overseas manufacturer.
3. Certification holder:
4. For Oversea manufacture to hold the certification: It is only possible if the manufacturer has the representative office in Vietnam and the representative office should confirm the information of the factory ( OEM) .
5. If a condition could not be satisfied, the certification holder could be the importer.

If the certification holder is the importer, there will be two conditions:

1: The manufacture and the OEM/ODM belongs to the same organization (providing the evidence) : Could get the type approval for 3 years.

2. The manufacture and the OEM/ODM do not belong to the same organization (providing the evidence) : Could get the type approval for 3 years still but we  need to provide ISO9001 Cert of the factory and need to evaluation the production of OEM/ODM by video.
3. The representative office could use the test report under the manufacturer’s name directly.

The importer could use the test report under the manufacturer’s name only when they get the LoA from the representative office or the LoA which has been consular legalized.

5. For test reports issued from MRA lab, VNTA only accepts the reports issued according to QCVN standards instead of ETSI EN Standards. The MRA test lab needs to verify the test report and send the confirmation email as the evidence. The test report issued from non-MRA test lab is only accepted when the Ministry of Information and Communications announces they accept the test report result since there is no capability to test locally like 5G NR.
6. When using the module report, the system applicant should get the authorization from the report holder.
7. Report holder is the manufacturer: Should get the authorization from the representative office of the manufacture or be consular legalized.
8. Report holder is the importer: The module test report must list the information on types, model number, manufacturer of the host device (the information of the listed host device must be the same with the information of the product applying for TA certification.)

Argentina 阿根廷

阿根廷國家通信局ENACOM於2023年 5月初發佈Resolution 586/2023，針對RAMATEL標籤要求進行了修訂。基於舊版854/2020，主要補充如下幾點要求：

(1) 如果產品本體上無法體現RAMATEL標籤，製造商可以申請放置在產品手冊，快速指南或者外包裝箱上。

(2) 如果認證的設備是安裝在汽車裡面，法規標籤不可見，這種情況下，標籤需要放置在說明書以及隨車檔上，或者公佈在汽車製造商/進口商官網上。

(3) 如果選擇E-labeling電子標籤方式，須在產品手冊或者快速指南書或其它隨車文件上引導消費者如何讀取電子標籤內容，或者在外包裝箱或汽車製造商/進口商官網上提供相關說明。

ENACOM issued Resolution 586/2023 in early May 2023, revising the RAMATEL labelling requirements. Based on the old version 854/2020, the following requirements are mainly added:
Summary as below,  res586.pdf (enacom.gob.ar)

• If marking cannot be placed directly on product for construction, size, or packaging reasons, the marking must be printed in the user manual, quick start guide, and/or the corresponding packaging.
• If the approved device is installed inside a vehicle and its regulatory identification is not visible, the marking must be printed in manuals and documents accompanying the vehicle, or be published on the official website of the vehicle’s manufacturer or importer.
• If e-labelling is chosen, instructions on how to access the e-label must be readily available in the user manual, quick start guide (or other documents accompanying the device), on the packaging, and/or on the official website of the device’s manufacturer or importer.

ACMA 已批准新供應商的符合性聲明 (表格 C02)，供應商必須先完成合規聲明才能貼合規標籤。

ACMA 已批准新供應商的符合性聲明 (表格 C02)，取代網站上以前的表格。

在進行供應商的符合性聲明時，必須採用 ACMA 批准的形式。 或者，供應商也可以創建自己的符合性聲明，其中包括表格 C02 所需的所有資訊。

供應商必須在貼合規標籤之前完成合規聲明。

The ACMA has approved a new supplier’s declaration of conformity (form C02). It replaces the previous form on the website.

This is the ACMA-approved form for a supplier’s declaration of conformity under the Radiocommunication Equipment (General) Rules 2021 and the Radiocommunications Labelling (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Notice 2017.

When making a supplier’s declaration of conformity, it must be in the form approved by the ACMA. Alternatively, the supplier may also create their own declaration of conformity that includes all the information required by form C02.

This also serves as a sample declaration of conformity form made by the ACMA under the Telecommunications (Labelling Notice for Customer Equipment and Customer Cabling) Instrument 2015.

Suppliers must complete a declaration of conformity before applying a compliance label.

現行已列檢內容積 400 公升以下之直立式冷凍櫃，惟商用直立式冷凍櫃之內容積有所增加，內容積700 公升以下的立式冷凍櫃於市場上漸趨流行。此外，臥式冷凍櫃近期也開始受到消費者的青睞。考量消費者使用安全，BSMI擬將內容積700 公升以下的立式和臥式冷凍櫃納入應施檢驗品目，修正後新增列檢之商品自 2025 年 1 月 1 日起強制實施。

WTO 通知截止日期為 2023 年 7 月 25 日。

On 26 May 2023, the WTO published Notification G/TBT/N/TPKM/523 relating to a proposal for Amendments to the Legal Inspection Requirements for Freezers.

At present, only upright freezers of which the storage volume does not exceed 400L are in the scope of mandatory inspection of BSMI. However, the storage volume of commercial upright freezers has increased. Upright freezers with storage volume not exceeding 700L become popular in the market. In addition to that, horizontal freezers are also getting popular among consumers recently. As a result of risk assessment, BSMI proposes to add upright and horizontal freezers with storage volume not exceeding 700L into the scope of legal inspection.

The WTO Notification deadline is 25 July 2023, 60 days from notification.
