Singapore - IMDA New Labeling Guidelines

Labeling requirements in Singapore have changed due to change of authority from IDA to IMDA , see link below with transitional arrangements specified in Section 6

https://www.imda.gov.sg/~/media/imda/files/regulation%20licensing%20and%20consultations/licensing/licenses/telecomequplabel_adv.pdf?la=en

·        Under Section 91(1) of the Info-communications Media Development Authority Act 2016, which came into force on 1 October 2016, all dealer’s licences and equipment registrations previously issued by IDA before 1 October 2016, will remain in force and will be deemed to be issued by IMDA.  All conditions in the respective dealer’s licence and equipment registration will remain the same.

·        Equipment that has been registered or renewed before 1 October 2016 with existing stock that are already affixed with the IDA compliance label before 1 October 2016, need not be replaced with the new IMDA compliance label.

·       Equipment that has been registered or renewed after 1 October 2016 with IMDA, shall be affixed with the IMDA compliance label by no later than 30 September 2017. This is to allow time for dealers to prepare and affix the new IMDA label.

Argentina - Telecom/Radiocom Regulator Now ENACOM

There is now a new regulator ENACOM (ENTE NACIONAL DE COMMUNICACIONES) created by the new government in Argentina.

ENACOM now regulates all telecom/radiocom equipment entering Argentina.

By a Argentina Government Decree No. 267/2015, ENACOM has 60 business days from December 29, 2015 to reorganize their internal processes. This is delaying all certs for telecom/radiocom equipment previously submitted to AFTIC and all new submittals to ENACOM.

Looks like every time there is a new government in Argentina, a new regulator is formed. As most of you know AFTIC was not too long ago established to replace CNC.
