Hong Kong’s Compliance Test Specification for Telecommunications Equipment

Overview

Hong Kong’s Compliance Test Specification outlines the safety and electrical protection standards for subscriber telecommunications equipment, as mandated by the Telecommunications Ordinance (Chapter 106).

HKTEC Scheme

The specification establishes the HKTEC Scheme, allowing suppliers and manufacturers to apply for certification of their equipment according to the standards set by the Communications Authority (CA). This scheme ensures that subscriber equipment adheres to stringent safety protocols.

Critical Requirements

The document details critical requirements, including radiation protection and electrical safety, and specifies limits for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). These measures are designed to ensure that telecommunications equipment is safe for users and complies with established protection regulations.

International Standards

Additionally, the specification references several international standards and accepted testing methods to validate compliance with SAR limits. The latest update to this specification was issued in August 2024, reflecting the most current safety and protection requirements for telecommunications equipment in Hong Kong.
