Chile: QR code requirements updated for short-distance devices


On November 24, 2025, the Chilean Telecommunications Authority (SUBTEL) issued Resolution 2219, which makes several important amendments to the regulatory framework for short-range devices introduced by Resolution 737. The resolution removes the power spectral density requirement, retains the equivalent omnidirectional radiated power requirement, and makes the following updates to the QR code requirement:

  • Relax the requirements for the posting location of QR codes: in principle, they should be affixed to the outer packaging of the equipment, but if the equipment is not packaged or does not meet the conditions, it can also be directly attached to the device itself, or attached to the accompanying paper documents (such as manual or warranty card);
  • The QR code must link to a web page in Spanish and its content must meet the information requirements listed in the specification;
  • A special transitional arrangement is made for devices that have been submitted and certified before February 21, 2026: the QR code webpage only needs to display the certification document, without the need to re-disclose the full technical specifications or test information.

The original type approval process still applies only to short-range equipment for medical use, and this requirement remains unchanged in this revision .
