Due to reorganization, MINCOM (Ministerio de Comunicación) took over MIC as RF & telecom authority since 2013-02-23 and still processes radio type approval. Wireless Devices using radio spectrum require homologation and local testing is necessary (for further information: Resolution No. 137/2003, No. 127/2011 and No. 156/2011).

- Modular approval is now accepted for Low Power devices;
- The similarity between two or more equipment could be accepted for those devices that are exactly the same radio part, hardware and the antennas;
