Resolution 737 Now Fully Effective: Transition Period for Equipment Labeling in Chile Comes to an End

Santiago, February 22, 2026 – February 22 marked the deadline set by the Undersecretariat of Telecommunications (SUBTEL) for the full implementation of Resolution 737. This deadline marks the end of the adaptation period for the requirement of Nominal Representation and QR Labeling on low-power devices, consolidating the new regulatory framework for the marketing of wireless technology in the country.

A New Standard of Compliance

Following the conclusion of the transition period, the regulations are now considered fully enforceable for manufacturers and importers. While the authority sets its own enforcement schedules, the expiration of this deadline means that every device—from IoT sensors to connectivity systems—must now be backed by a responsible local representative to comply with current regulations.

The Importance of Representation in the Digital Ecosystem

Operational efficiency in this context now hinges on transparency and traceability. The key points defining this new phase are:

Formalization of Representation: The presence of a representative domiciled in Chile is established as the essential requirement for the validity of registrations with the regulatory authority.

Parameter Certification (Res. 1985): The information linked to the QR code must accurately reflect compliance with authorized power levels and frequencies, avoiding technical discrepancies in spectrum usage.

Operational Integration: Control and import systems already have the necessary structure to validate that each SKU complies with the required traceability protocols.
