Mexico Telecommunication Agency - IFT's New Requirement
The Mexico Telecommunication Agency, IFT, officially implemented NOM-221 Part 3 on March 13th. This regulation mandates that all cellular phones include a Risk Alerts system for emergency alerts. Compliance with NOM-221 Part 3 is required during testing, and it must be requested by the IFT to obtain full approval for cellular phones. Certifying bodies are fully accredited, making this new requirement fully implementable.
IFT-011 was initially published on September 13th, 2022, and has successfully completed the 180 days adjustment period before being fully enforced.
