Resolución 737 EXENTA

Modifies Resolución N° 1.985 Exenta, de 2017, of the Undersecretary of Telecommunications, which sets the technical standard for short-range equipment.

Scope and Focus

This regulation modifies the technical standards for short-range radio equipment. It aims to streamline the certification process, primarily due to the increase in certification requests for consumer electronics using 5G and IoT technologies. The regulation reserves certification for medical applications only, while for other equipment categories, it aims to facilitate user access to technical characteristics via a QR code.

Permitted Radio Bands and Technical Parameters

• Devices for medical data acquisition operating in the 430-440 MHz band, with a maximum radiated power of 0.1 µW, employing frequency hopping technology.
• Operation in 76-77 GHz band.

Exemptions and Restrictions

• Certification is primarily reserved for short-range medical equipment.
• Operation of equipment is restricted to controlled emissions within enclosed spaces (houses, buildings, offices, factories, warehouses, etc.).
• Equipment categories described in the specified sections of Article 1 cannot operate or be displayed to the public if their packaging does not display the QR code described in this standard.

In-Country Testing Procedures and Requirements

Manufacturers or importers must verify that their radio emissions comply with all applicable telecommunications regulations. This requires obtaining a test report demonstrating compliance. The manufacturer/importer must also include a QR code on the product packaging, linking to a website with specific information detailed below. All equipment must comply with the requirements of Resolución Exenta N° 3.103, de 2012 regarding electromagnetic safety.

Labeling Requirements

A QR code must be placed on the exterior of the equipment packaging. The QR code must link to a website (in Spanish) containing the following information:

1. Commercial information of the equipment and the manufacturer or importer in Chile:
   • Date.
   • Commercial name of the equipment.
   • Manufacturer.
   • Importer or representative in Chile.
   • Address.
   • Contact email.
   • Website.
2. Technical characteristics of the equipment:
   • Type of equipment.
   • Brand.
   • Model.
   • Technology or modulation.
   • Frequencies.
   • Antenna gain (dBi).
   • P.i.r.e.
   • Modules.
3. Test Report
4. Declaration of Conformity

If technical characteristics are confidential, access can be restricted by password.

Regulation Modification

This regulation modifies Resolución N° 1.985 Exenta, de 2017, de la Subsecretaría de Telecomunicaciones que fija norma técnica de equipos de alcance reducido.
