On June 15, 2026, the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology released a draft notice containing a mandatory list of products classified by risk level, which must obtain type approval certification and/or a Declaration of Safety Conformity (SDoC). This draft will replace Notification No. 29/2025/TT-BKHCN and Decision No. 2711/QD-BKHCN. The main changes include:

• Some products, including WWAN technology, can be considered small to medium-risk products, requiring only SDoC and allowing voluntary type approval applications;
• If products on the small and medium-risk product list are integrated with high-risk products, high-risk technical testing is required, but only SDoC is required;
• When high-risk products undergo type approval certification under Scheme 3, the explanation about using ISO 9001:2015 certificates to replace factory inspection and supervision requirements has been removed.

On June 15, 2026, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued official announcement number DA 26-588, officially removing "toy drones" and "toy drones containing foreign-made parts" from the "Covered List." The specific conditions must be met:

• Weight limit: Maximum takeoff weight ≤ 150 grams;
• Operating range: limited to within line of sight, distance ≤ 100 meters;
• Flight altitude: Maximum continuous flight altitude≤ 300 feet (about 91.4 meters).
• Flight speed: Maximum horizontal speed≤ 10 m/s;
• Endurance: Flight time ≤ 10 minutes;
• No positioning system: No GPS/GNSS or equivalent system (i.e., no return-to-home, waypoint missions, or subject tracking);
• No network connection: No internet, mobile apps, cellular, or Wi-Fi connection capability. Only a dedicated RF link (usually 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz) is allowed between the controller and the drone, and radio frequencies cannot be modified or programmed, and must comply with FCC regulatory requirements;
• No imaging or sensing capabilities: no photo/video camera, microphones, live video feed, onboard recording, or any sensors capable of surveillance or data gathering;
• No modular payload interface: such as airdrop/release mechanisms, search lights and strobes, and micro-FPV cameras, and protection cages, etc.;
• Motor type: Brushless motor not included;
• Market positioning: Explicitly marketed as a toy for recreational use;

On June 11, 2026, the Indian Ministry of Telecommunications (DoT) issued regulations for vehicle-mounted radar systems operating in the 77–81 GHz band. When such systems are installed on vehicles for radio positioning purposes, licensing procedures are exempted. Provided technical limitations are met, these systems can be used, sold, or leased without separate licenses. This regulation sets limits on power, transmit bandwidth, and stray emissions. Unless the same model has already been approved for the same model, the device model approval must be applied for through the Ministry of Telecommunications (DoT) portal. The system must comply with applicable Indian standards or relevant international standards. If interference occurs, users may be required to reduce power, adjust equipment position, or take other corrective actions.

Following the public consultation conducted in August 2025, on June 10, 2026, Brazil's National Environment Committee (CONAMA) approved a new RoHS resolution mandating restrictions on the use of 10 hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), including heavy metals and phthalates. The regulation aligns with international standards, requiring manufacturers and importers to register products in centralized databases, submit declarations of conformity, and apply specific labels. The compliance period is implemented in phases, ranging from immediate restrictions on certain flame retardants to a four-year transition period for paraphthalates. This regulation has not yet been published in government gazette ; the effective date and transition period will be subject to subsequent government gazette.

On June 2, 2026, the Cuban Ministry of Communications (MIC or MINCOM) officially issued Resolutions 1/2026 and 2/2026, fully replacing the old regulations and strictly distinguishing between the import of personal and commercial equipment. The main contents include:

• The new regulations specify that telecommunications and wireless products used for resale, commercialization, or local manufacturing (such as mobile phones, radars, broadcast receivers, etc., see Annex I of the notice) must obtain type approval (Homologation) certificates and technical authorization certificates;
• Type approval certificates are prerequisites for technical authorization certificates. For testing, display, or personal use samples, the type approval certificate can be exempted, but temporary technical authorization must be applied for 30 days before entry, valid for 3 months;
• In principle, testing must be conducted in local laboratories, but for equipment beyond local testing capacity, MIC allows acceptance of manufacturer or international laboratory test reports;
The
• approval certificate is issued within 10 working days after payment and testing is completed, with a validity period of 5 years;
• The new regulations also specify the operating frequency bands for cordless telephones as 45/48MHz, 1.9GHz, 2.4GHz, and 5.8GHz.

On May 31, 2026, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MST) of Vietnam issued two circular notices regarding the adjustment of mobile communication spectrum, which are:

• Circular No. 27/2026/TT-BKHCN will take effect from July 16, 2026. The circular allocated 470-606 MHz to terrestrial digital TV services; MST may approve applications or extensions for terrestrial digital TV business licenses within the 606-694 MHz band, but the latest is December 31, 2028. If MST officially issues a written notice confirming that the 606-694 MHz band will begin mobile communications, all units still using this band must unconditionally complete the conversion to other compliant bands (such as 470-606 MHz) within 6 months of receiving the notification;
• Circular No. 29/2026/TT-BKHCN, which will take effect from September 16, 2026. The circular designates 890-915 MHz as the uplink band and 935-960 MHz as the downlink band, which can be used for 3G, 4G, and 5G mobile communications, with 3G available until September 14, 2028.
