Regulatory Update – Mexico
New Conformity Assessment Procedure – Update
Further to the PCS Regulatory Update of 27th May 2020 regarding
the new Mexican Conformity
Assessment Procedure (PEC), PCS would like to remind
manufacturers that, as of 25th February 2021,
the following changes will be introduced to the Type Approval
process for radio devices subject to
current Mexican national standards and where there is a local
testing procedure (such as NOM-208-
SCFI-2016 and NOM-221-SCFI-2017 part 2):
1. RF Certificates of Conformity (CoC) and RF test reports can
no longer be transferred. This
means that each Mexican importer must obtain their own RF test
report, RF CoC and IFT
Approval certificate.
2. All current RF CoCs and RF test reports that have been issued
to a third party as the local
representative will need to be obtained again, in the name of
each importer. Any existing IFT
Approval certificates may continue to be used for sales
purposes, however RF CoC’s in the
name of each importer will be needed for importing into the
country.
3. Holders of RF CoC’s must now also obtain the corresponding
IFT Approval certificate. If not,
both certificates will be cancelled.
4. All Approvals where no testing was involved will remain valid
and are not affected by this
change.
The new PEC only impacts radio products where there is a local
testing procedure applicable (for
example, NOM-208 covering 2.4GHz, 902-928 MHz and 5725 – 5850MHz
or NOM-221 part 2 covering
WWAN bands).
Whereas RF devices containing for example 13.56 MHz only or 415
MHz only do not require local
testing, therefore are not impacted by this change.
There is no impact to the Safety Approval process.

will not be any changes to this
procedure ahead of the implementation date of 25th February
