On October 2, 2024, the Mexico Federal Telecommunications Agency (IFETEL) approved modifications to the guidelines for type approval and the use of the IFT mark. The revised guidelines for the use of the IFT Marks will come into effect on July 1, 2025, and the vector files containing the IFT Marks referred to in Article 5 of the Guidelines will be made available to persons with valid access rights and passwords through IFTEL's electronic portal from October 3, 2024. Once the guidelines are in effect, vector files may be available as set forth in the last paragraph of Article 5 of the guidelines.

The updated certification guidelines state that each approved product must have a physical or electronic mark or label that must be used by printing, digitizing or permanently affixing the mark. The required marking or identification label data must be permanently engraved, embossed, or printed on a metal, plastic, or other material identification plate or label and fixed to an approved product or packaging. Electronic labels can be used for products with integrated screens, allowing users to view labels clearly and conveniently. For approved products with electronic labels, permanent labeling is optional.
