The public consultation closes on September 18th, 2024, and includes the following proposed changes:

1.       Addition to Act No. 3151:

–       4.4: Certification of modules or final products classified as Personal Mobile Service Access Terminal Stations, which are compatible only with 3G or lower technologies, is not permitted.

–       4.5: Modules or final products classified as Personal Mobile Service Access Terminal Stations capable of making voice calls must support VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology.

2.       Addition to Act No. 3152:

–       4.5: Certification of mobile phones compatible only with 3G or lower technologies is not permitted.

–       4.6: Mobile phones must support voice calls using VoLTE (Voice over LTE) technology.

3.       Approval for modules and products compatible only with 3G or lower technologies will be granted solely to meet spare part demands in the automotive industry and with express authorization from ANATEL’s Certification and Numbering Management (ORCN).

4.       Equipment compatible only with 3G or lower technologies, approved before this Act takes effect, can maintain their certifications without needing to adjust to the new requirements.

ANATEL will review feedbacks from the public consultation, update relevant items, and publish the Final Regulation. The release date for the Final Regulation is currently unknown and will depend on the volume of feedbacks received.

–       Smart Electricity Meter (Phase 3)

–       Satellite Communication Equipment (Phase 4)

–       Base Station for Cellular Network for 5G (Phase 5)

–       Hypervisor (Phase 5)

–       IP Terminal (Phase 5)

The last date that test reports issued by ILAC signatories from non-border sharing countries will be extended for these products until September 30, 2024.

The generic exemption applies to parameters related to the devices listed below:

–       Mobile Radio Trunking System

–       Repeater for Cellular Network

–       Precision Timing Protocol Grand Master Equipment

–       VHF UHF Radio System Equipment

–       Radio Broadcast Receiver

–       ADSLx

–       VDSLx

–       Optical Fiber (Single Mode)

–       Optical Fiber Cable

–       HF Radio System

–       GPS

TEC has also published a notification regarding the requirements for certain parameters of ER of “PON Family of Broadband Equipment” under MTCTE.

Applicable frequency for Wi-Fi 6E is 5925-6425 MHz, 25mW E.I.R.P for indoor and outdoor use (unmanned aircraft systems/ drones is prohibited), 250mW E.I.R.P. for indoor use only.

New standard GOST CISPR 35-2019 (identical to CISPR 35:2016) “Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia equipment – Immunity requirements” was added and will be mandatory for EAC approval from January 01, 2025.

The application of the standard GOST EN 55020-2016 (identical to CISPR 20:2006) “Sound and television broadcast receivers and associated equipment – Immunity characteristics – Limits and methods of measurement” was extended till July 01, 2025.

The frequency band from mobile to base and from base to mobile (TDD): 3300-3700 MHz with 8 channels of 50MHz bandwidth:

Sub band A: 3300 – 3350 MHz (50MHz)

Sub band B: 3350 – 3400 MHz (50MHz)

Sub band C: 3400 – 3450 MHz (50MHz)

Sub band D: 3450 – 3500 MHz (50MHz)

Sub band E: 3500 – 3550 MHz (50MHz)

Sub band F: 3550 – 3600 MHz (50MHz)

Sub band G: 3600 – 3650 MHz (50MHz)

Sub band H: 3650 – 3700 MHz (50MHz)

The newly established standard is part of the standard series “Data Quality for Analytics and Machine Learning (ISO/IEC 5259)” currently being developed by SC42 WG2. This standard series aims to provide tools and methods for organizations to evaluate, manage, and improve data quality during the AI development process, ensuring that data can be used appropriately for its intended purpose. It also provides consistent and reliable common terminology and practices and consists of a total of six parts.

Based on this achievement, the research team explained that they will continue to collaborate with SC42 member countries such as the United States, Japan, Germany, China, and the United Kingdom, as well as SC42 working groups, domestic academia, industry experts, and others, to continuously develop international standards for data requirements and utilization information to support AI safety and reliability.

Following the consultations, the parties agreed to jointly implement the following measures:

–         to integrate information systems in the field of technical regulation;

–         to exclude from the national parts of the EAEU unified register certification bodies that have committed violations during conformity assessment procedures;

–         operational interaction on the exchange of information on identified violations;

–         full digitalization of conformity assessment processes (certification and declaration);

–         developing and using timing of product testing;

–         strengthening measures for photo recording of tests and prompt exchange of the results of such recording upon request;

–         improving and strengthening the requirements, responsibility of certification experts, certification bodies, test laboratories and market surveillance authorities’ powers.

As a result of those consultations Kyrgyzstan EAC Declaration registration process was changed.

Also, from 01 July, 2024, in order to optimize the business processes of issuing test reports in test laboratories, create tools for monitoring the issuance process, eliminate the risks of falsifying test reports, and create a single register of reports the process of preparing, issuing and using test reports will be digitized in Kyrgyzstan:

–         electronic submission of the applications forms for testing;

–         integration with other information systems to obtain data;

–         preparation of test reports;

–         formation of a Register based on data from the test reports.

By July 1, all Kyrgyzstan testing laboratories must join the program to automate the processes of registration and use of test reports issued by accredited testing laboratories.

1.       Since October 15th, 2024, the designated certification bodies have begun to accept CCC certification entrustment for lithium-ion batteries and chargers for electric bicycles (see Annex for product description and definition), and carry out CCC certification according to the corresponding implementation rules and applicable standards for compulsory product certification. Under the premise of controllable certification risks and ensuring certification quality, we should actively adopt the existing conformity assessment results to reduce the burden on enterprises and facilitate them to obtain certificates.

2.       Since November 1, 2025, lithium-ion batteries and chargers for electric bicycles shall be certified by CCC and marked with CCC certification marks before they can be manufactured, sold, imported or used in other business activities.

3.       Certification institutions and laboratories that undertake CCC certification and testing of lithium-ion batteries and chargers for electric bicycles shall be designated separately.

Annex as following.
