On May 27, 2026, Chile's SUBTEL issued Resolution No. 966, updating the technical standard for short-range devices (SRD) No. 1.985 of 2017. The main revisions include:
- Adjusting QR code compliance labeling requirements: To facilitate application on more diverse devices, QR code size and design restrictions have been relaxed. No longer mandatory restrictions on specific shapes or fixed dimensions; sizes and forms are now determined by the responsible party themselves, but must ensure they meet the minimum requirements for correct reading and operation (recommended compliance with ISO/IEC 18004);
- Optimized submission method for confidential test reports: Added alternative submission channels, allowing submission of confidential test reports via virtual receiving offices, and sending related serial numbers and device information via official email to speed up review;
- New medical device frequency band specification: Introduces technical specifications for "active implantable medical devices" operating in the 9-315 kHz frequency band at extremely low power, limiting the electric field strength at 10 meters to no more than 30 dBμA/m (or equivalent dBuV/m).
