NOM-208-SCFI-2016 is an official Mexican standard that defines the technical requirements and testing methods for short-range radio devices, ensuring their safe and reliable operation.
This standard applies to wireless devices using spread spectrum technologies (frequency hopping, digital modulation) operating in the following frequency bands:
- 902 MHz - 928 MHz (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical equipment)
- 2400 MHz - 2483.5 MHz (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other consumer devices)
- 5725 MHz - 5850 MHz (Wireless LAN, high-speed data communication)
- Wireless network equipment (routers, modems)
- Short-range communication devices (Bluetooth headsets, wireless keyboards and mice, remote controls)
- Industrial and commercial devices (wireless barcode scanners, RFID tags, cordless phones)
- Others (baby monitors, wireless cameras, garage door remote controls)
*This list is not exhaustive and may expand in the future.*
Devices must operate within designated frequency bands to avoid interference with other communication systems.
- Must comply with *IFT-008-2015* standard (frequency stability, power, bandwidth, etc.)
- Output power: Must not exceed safe thresholds
- Frequency stability: Prevents drifting into unauthorized bands
- Bandwidth and channel spacing: Ensures efficient spectrum usage and minimizes interference
- Power testing: Ensures signal strength complies with the standard
- Frequency stability testing: Ensures stability during operation
- Bandwidth verification: Confirms the signal remains within specified limits
- Testing Institutions: Devices must be tested at SE-recognized and IFT-approved laboratories (e.g., QIMA-NYCE)
- Review: Submission of technical documentation, lab testing, and evaluation report
- Certification Issuance: NOM-208 certification is granted upon compliance
- Regulatory Bodies: Secretariat of Economy (SE) and Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT)
- Responsibilities: Certification management, market inspections, and non-compliance rectification
The Chinese JJR Laboratory can assist with NOM-208 certification, providing:
- Laboratory testing
- Technical document review
- Certification processing
