Following some German companies have called on the EU to fully open up the 6GHz band for Wi-FiOn November 12, 2025, the 68th meeting of the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG), an advisory body of the European Commission, was held in Brussels, and the draft resolution of the meeting allocated 540MHz in the 6GHz band to be allocated to mobile communication operators, making mobile operators dominate the allocation of the 6GHz band. The remaining 160MHz will be temporarily frozen until a final decision is made at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-27) in 2027.

On 10 November 2025, the Singapore Consumer Product Safety Office (CPSO) issued a notice numbered CPSO-101125-22 to Registered Suppliers (RS). The main contents of the notice are as follows:

• Reminder that registered controlled goods (CGs) may face supply suspension or prohibition if they are non-conforming or unauthorised modifications;
• It is an offence to supply or advertise suspended/banned CGs for the purpose of supply, and the offender is liable to a fine of up to US$10,000 or imprisonment for 2 years (or both);
• Clarify that RS needs to update the technical documents related to CGs modifications (technical modifications need to be re-certified/registered) and provide technical documents upon request within 7 days (violators will be fined up to $2,000 or 12 months in prison);
• CGs registration is valid for 3 years and must be renewed 6 months before expiration.

CPSO regulates 33 categories of household appliances, electronic and gas appliances and accessories, including adapters for ICT products including audio, video and computers.

On November 5, 2025, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the UK Department of Science, Innovation and Technology signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) for cybersecurity testing and certification. Under the Mutual Recognition Agreement:

• Products that have passed PSTI cybersecurity certification and provide online self-declaration can be considered to have met the technical requirements of JC-STAR Level 1 when applying for JC-STAR Level 1, and will adopt a simplified procedure.
• Products that have passed the JC-STAR Level 1 evaluation and have adopted the certification mark can be considered to meet the requirements of PSTI.

On October 30, 2025, Vietnam's Ministry of Science and Technology (MST) issued a public consultation on the development of a national technical regulation (QCVN xxx:2025/BKHCN) on wireless access equipment in the 6 GHz band, which applies to all wireless access devices operating in the 6 GHz band (5945-6425MHz). This draft QCVN refers to ETSI EN 303 687 V1.1.1 to define technical specifications and measurement methods for 6 GHz wireless devices:

After the new version of the technical regulations come into effect, organizations and individuals that manufacture, import or sell Wi-Fi 6E/7 devices in Vietnam must ensure that the devices meet all the technical requirements in the new version of the technical regulations and are verified by tests by accredited laboratories.

On October 29, 2025, India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued a notification requesting the migration of IS 13252-1:2010 and IS 616:2017 standards to the IS/IEC 62368-1:2023 standard. Extended reality products such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MRI) will have until May 1, 2026, to meet compliance requirements for the new standard. All other products that still comply with the IS 13252-1:2010 and IS 616:2017 standards will have until November 1, 2028 to complete compliance with the new standards. The IS 13252-1:2010 and IS 616:2017 standards will be revoked on November 1, 2028.

On October 28, 2025, the Mexican Ministry of Economy (SE) published an agreement to amend the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) between the Mexican and U.S. governments regarding conformity assessment of telecommunications equipment. According to the MRA, Mexican CRTs should accept test reports from laboratories designated in the United States and accredited by Mexican authorities in accordance with the following technical standards:

• IFT-012-2019: Technical Specification for Maximum Limits of Non-Ionizing Radio Radiation for Telecommunications Products, Equipment, Devices, or Apparatus (Capable of Connecting to Telecommunications Networks and/or Using the Radio Spectrum) Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
• IFT-016-2024: Low-Power Radio Communication Equipment – Devices Using the 30 MHz to 3 GHz Band Radio Spectrum – Specifications, Limits, and Test Methods.
• IFT-017-2023: Radio Communication Systems Using Radio Access – LAN – Radio Communication Equipment Using Digital Modulation Technology and Operating in the 5150-5250 MHz, 5250-5350 MHz, 5470-5600 MHz, 5650-5725 MHz, 5725-5850 MHz, and 5925-6425 MHz bands.

Some German telecommunications and infrastructure providers sent an open letter to German Federal Digital Minister Carsten Wildberg, urging Germany to take a clear position on the future use of the 6GHz high frequency band (6425-7125 MHz). The goal of the companies involved is to support the full opening of the band for license-free Wi-Fi throughout the EU. Signatories include Deutsche Glasfaser, EWE TEL, HPE, Fritz (AVM), Lancom Systems and NetCologne.

The next plenary meeting of the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG), the European Commission's high-level advisory body, will be held on November 12, 2025. A proposal for the use of the 6GHz band is expected to be discussed at that time. Based on this proposal, the European Commission may initiate a coordination process at EU level.

On October 20, 2025, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) issued guidance number 2025-DRS0007, clarifying its guidelines based on RSS-102. SAR. MEAS Section 5.1 on the Simplification of SAR Evaluation Tests.

For any device that has performed a 1g body SAR test at a distance of 5 mm or less, a 10g limb SAR test at a distance of 0 mm is optional if all of the following conditions are met:

• Operating frequency below 6 GHz;
• The body and limbs use the same power level and power configuration set (Tune-up).

To apply this test simplification, you should describe how all of the above requirements are met in your report.

It is important to note that the limb SAR test simplification does not apply to:

• Exposure of the hand during voice calls near the head, as described in RSS-102. SAR.MEAS Section 5.10;
• Frequency above 6 GHz and for use at absorbed power density (APD) limits.

On October 20, 2025, the National Radio Research Agency (RRA) issued Announcement 2025-77 to solicit public comments on the revision of EMC standards to increase broadband radiated immunity. The background of this revision is that the platform safety gate system is affected by 5G communication interference failure, so the radiation immunity test of 3.4GHz-3.7GHz should be added. There are five test levels of 20V/m, 28V/m, 38V/m, 56V/m and 80V/m, and are based on the international standard IEC 61000-4-41.
