Resolution 2219 EXENTA

AMENDS THE TECHNICAL NORM FOR SHORT-RANGE DEVICES, ESTABLISHED BY EXEMPT RESOLUTION N° 1,985 OF 2017 OF THE UNDERSECRETARIAT OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, AND ITS SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS

N° 2,219 exempt.— Santiago, November 17, 2025.

Having seen:

1) Decree-Law N° 1,762 of 1977, which creates the Undersecretariat of Telecommunications, hereinafter the Undersecretariat.

2) Law N° 18,168, General Telecommunications Law.

3) Exempt Resolution N° 1,985 of 2017 of the Undersecretariat, which establishes the technical norm for short-range devices, and its subsequent amendments.

4) Exempt Resolution N° 737 of 2025 of the Undersecretariat, which amended the previously cited technical norm.

5) Resolution N° 36 of 2024 of the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic, setting rules on exemption from the formal legality review procedure.

Considering:

1) That, through the resolution cited in point 4, an extensive amendment was made to the Technical Norm for Short-Range Devices approved by the resolution in point 3, and its subsequent amendments, all from this Undersecretariat. In substance, those amendments establish a new simplified certification regime for certain categories of equipment whose effective date was deferred to February 22, 2026.

2) That, through Subtel filings N° 78,419, N° 83,328, N° 86,493, N° 86,513, N° 88,469, N° 88,509, N° 89,914, all of 2025, and other instances, various actors expressed difficulties complying with some of the obligations contained in the deferred text of the technical norm in question. In light of the above, it is observed that alternatives must be established in that text for unpackaged devices, allowing the QR code to be printed or affixed in a visible location on one of the exterior faces of each device or in its accompanying documentation.

3) That, likewise, the need was expressed before this authority to regulate how to comply with the future QR labeling and website-information obligations for devices certified under currently-in-force rules. That regulation would also allow the corresponding websites to be populated with information useful to users before it becomes mandatory. Consequently, it is deemed appropriate to incorporate into the deferred text of the technical norm a provision that specifies the information to be published for equipment authorized via Certification Letters filed by February 22, 2026.

4) The need to incorporate corrections to the deferred text of the technical norm to facilitate its reading and clarify its meaning without altering it.

5) That, on the other hand, the resolution cited in point 4 incorporates into the deferred text of the resolution in point 3 a provision that will enable the certification of medical data-acquisition devices operating in the 430 - 440 MHz band as of February 22, 2026. In this regard, given the convenience of immediately processing certification requests for such devices, the effective date of the pertinent provision will be set to the publication date of this act.

I resolve:
