Introduction
On February 7th, 2017, the Standards General Director and President of the National Advisory Committee for Standardization of the Ministry of Economy (CCONNSE) published in the Official Gazette of Mexico the NOM-208-SCFI-2016. This standard is designed to replace the emergency NOM‐EM‐016‐SCFI-2015 and applies to all radio communication systems employing the spread spectrum technique, frequency hopping radio communication equipment, and digital modulation within the frequency ranges of 902-928MHz, 2400-2483.5MHz, and 5725-5850MHz. The technical requirements are referenced to the technical disposition IFT-008-2015.
Key Points
It is important to highlight:

- The previous NOMs cannot be utilized to extend new models in the same family.
