Mexico Publishes New Conformity Assessment Procedure (PEC)

A new Conformity Assessment Procedure (PEC) in telecommunications and broadcasting products has been published in the Mexico Official Gazette on February 25th,2020 and it will take effect next year.

– The holders of the conformity certificates must also obtain the corresponding IFT approval certificate, otherwise.

– The non-transferability of the conformity certificate, testing or inspection report is established, so they will only be valid with respect to its holder. This implies that certificates used by third parties can no longer be used to demonstrate compliance in customs and each importer must obtain their own IFT certificate and their respective CoC.

– The use of digital media for communication between the conformity assessment bodies, the IFT and those interested in obtaining a certificate of conformity, testing or inspection report is established.
