This Technical Code establishes the minimum baseline requirements for all communications equipment, including but not limited to user equipment, network facilities and radiocommunications equipment, for use in communications services in Malaysia. It is to be read together with other applicable technical codes on communications equipment and serves as the baseline requirement for communications equipment that is not covered by any specific technical code. This Technical Code covers operational requirements, including the requirement that equipment shall not cause interference to authorised radiocommunication services and shall tolerate interference from other radiocommunication services, electrical or electronic equipment. It also specifies general requirements on marking, interoperability and keypad layout, and technical requirements relating to Radio Frequency (RF), Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), electrical safety, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and Power Density (PD). This Technical Code also differentiates between directly connected and non-directly connected Short Range Devices (SRDs), with directly connected SRDs required to comply with applicable IPv6, safety, EMC and SAR requirements.
