Regulations Governing Compliance Approval for Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Article 11

Separate applications for approval shall be required for TTE or non-plug-and-play restricted communications modules of different brands, model numbers, hardware, Telecommunications interface functionalities, appearances, colors, materials, methods of power supply, accessory or antennas.Separate applications for approval shall be required for restricted final products assembled with the same restricted communications module but on different platforms.Regarding TTE or non-plug-and-play restricted communications modules issued with an approval certificate, an application for new approval shall be required for change of original applicant, brand, model number, hardware, telecommunications interface functionality, appearance, color, material, way of power supply, accessory or antenna, unless otherwise specified in these Regulations. However, for the expansion of telecommunications interface on TTE or non-plug-and-play restricted communications module that does not affect the telecommunications interface functionality originally approved, the application for approval may be submitted only for the expansion.In either of the following circumstances, the application for type approval for a series product may be submitted for a piece of TTE for which a type approval certificate is issued for its change other than the change of original applicant:1. The change of antenna, appearance, color, material, auxiliary non-telecommunications interface functionality, method of power supply, accessory, brand or model number only;2. The change of modulation technique by firmware or software, or reduction of transmission power, frequency range, bandwidth or number of channels only.For the applications for series product type approval mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the differences between the said product and the product of the originally approved model number shall be described in writing and submitted to the original certification body for application.Regarding the change of appearance, color, material, external power supply or accessory only of a piece of TTE or non-plug-and-play restricted communications module issued with an approval certificate without affecting telecommunications interface, the application of new approval may be exempted with the confirmation of the original certification body.For the change of external power supply or accessory mentioned in the preceding paragraph, an application for renewal of approval certificate shall be submitted to the original certification body.In any of the following circumstances, the original approval label may be used for a piece of TTE or non-plug-and-play restricted communications module issued with an approval certificate without the change or original applicant, telecommunications interface hardware, brand and model number:1. Change of modulation technique, transmission power, frequency range, bandwidth or number of channels by firmware or software;2. Change of auxiliary non-telecommunications interface functionality;3. Change of method of power supply or accessory;4. Change of antenna;5. Change of appearance, color or material that has been reviewed by the original certification body;6. Restricted final product assembled with a restricted communications module issued with an approval certificate.Regarding a piece of TTE or non-plug-and-play restricted communications module issued with an approval certificate, an application for new approval shall be submitted when the relevant technical specifications are amended and such an application is required; the original approval label or DoC label may be used.
中文原文 電信終端設備審驗管理辦法第11條
不同廠牌、型號、硬體、電信介面、外觀、顏色、材質、電源供應方式、配件或天線之電信終端設備或非隨插即用限制性通信模組,應分別申請審驗。
以同一非隨插即用限制性通信模組與不同平臺組裝之最終產品,應分別申請審驗。
取得審驗證明之電信終端設備或非隨插即用限制性通信模組,變更原申請者、廠牌、型號、硬體、電信介面、外觀、顏色、材質、電源供應方式、配件或天線時,除本辦法另有規定外,應重新申請審驗。
但電信終端設備或非隨插即用限制性通信模組擴充電信介面,不影響原審驗合格之電信介面功能者,得僅對擴充部分辦理審驗。
經型式認證取得審驗證明之電信終端設備或非隨插即用限制性通信模組,不變更原申請者,並符合下列情形之一者,得申請系列產品型式認證:
一、僅變更天線、外觀、顏色、材質、附屬非電信介面功能、電源供應方式、配件、廠牌或型號。
二、僅以韌體或軟體變更調變技術、減少輸出功率、頻率範圍、頻寬或頻道數。
依前項申請系列產品型式認證者,應以書面敘明該產品與原審驗合格型號產品間之差異性,向原驗證機關(構)申請。
取得審驗證明之電信終端設備或非隨插即用限制性通信模組僅變更外觀、顏色、材質、外接電源或配件不影響電信介面、電磁相容或電氣安全功能,經原驗證機關(構)確認後,得免申請重新審驗。
前項屬變更外接電源或配件者,應向原驗證機關(構)換發審驗證明。
變更取得審驗證明之電信終端設備或非隨插即用限制性通信模組,不變更原申請者、電信介面硬體、廠牌及型號,並符合下列情形之一者,驗證機關(構)核發電信終端設備型式認證證明時,得使用原審驗合格標籤:
一、以韌體或軟體變更調變技術、輸出功率、頻率範圍、頻寬或頻道數。
二、變更附屬非電信介面功能。
三、變更電源供應方式、配件。
四、變更天線。
五、變更外觀、顏色或材質,經原驗證機關(構)重新審驗者。
六、以取得審驗證明之非隨插即用限制性通信模組組裝之最終產品。
電信終端設備或非隨插即用限制性通信模組之取得審驗證明者,於相關技術規範修正,並限期重新申請審驗時,應申請重新審驗,並得使用原審驗合格標籤或符合性聲明標籤。
