Overview

The IFT Mexican Authority has established SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing requirements for telecommunications consumer products and equipment. This equipment is used in close proximity to a person’s head, particularly near the ear, or used at a distance shorter than 200mm from the human body (wearable technology).

Testing Requirements

These testing requirements determine if the devices comply with the basic exposure limits for non-ionizing radioelectric emissions in the frequency ranges 300 MHz to 6 GHz and 30 MHz to 6 GHz, respectively.

Compliance Timeline

The regulation was set in force on February 26th, 2021, but compliance was not mandatory at that time because most laboratories and certification bodies were not fully accredited. However, now, most are accredited and thus, certification is mandatory.
