IFT Approves New Guidelines for Telecom and Broadcasting Products

The Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) has approved key modifications to two important sets of guidelines:

  1. Guidelines for the Approval of Telecommunications and Broadcasting Products
  2. Guidelines for the Use of the IFT Seal on Approved Products

These updates aim to enhance clarity and instill greater confidence in telecommunications and broadcasting products, ensuring compliance with established regulations and improving product identification for users.

The revised guidelines will facilitate easy recognition of IFT-approved products, whether through physical or digital markings or detailed information in product manuals. This initiative is designed to ensure that users can reliably identify compliant devices.

The new guidelines for the use of the IFT seal will take effect on July 1st, 2025. This step reflects the IFT's commitment to promoting transparency and consumer protection in the telecommunications sector.
