Hong Kong OFCA has updated the ‘Standardisation Guide for Labelling of Telecommunications Equipment (HKCA 3211 issue 5 April 2022)’. OFCA does not carry out certification of telecommunications equipment directly, but it operates the Hong Kong Telecommunications Equipment Evaluation and Certification (HKTEC) Scheme. Under the HKTEC Scheme, labelling of certified equipment is voluntary unless otherwise required by the Communications Authority (CA) for the specific types of equipment.
For equipment subject to the mandatory labelling requirement, manufacturers, suppliers or dealers are required to affix a label issued by the CA to a piece of certified equipment. For equipment subject to the voluntary labelling requirement, manufacturers, suppliers or dealers are encouraged to affix the label as well, to help the general public identify the compliance of the equipment with the relevant technical specification.
A label issued by the CA, can be affixed to equipment which has been certified by a CB to be in compliance with the prescribed specifications; see example below:
