Public Consultation on Self Certification for Short-Range Devices

The Chilean Undersecretariat of Telecommunications is seeking public comment on a proposed resolution that would modernize the country's certification process for reduced-range electronic devices, such as those using Bluetooth and WiFi.

Currently, manufacturers and importers must obtain certificates from SUBTEL for each type of device. The proposed changes would allow companies to self-certify compliance by providing test data and other required information through a QR code printed on product packaging. This code would link to a website where consumers could access compliance information. Medical devices using reduced-range technologies would be exempt from the proposed changes and continue to follow existing processes.

The Undersecretariat is accepting comments on the proposed resolution until July 12, 2024.
Stakeholders can review the proposal and submit feedback at the following links.
