Also, the new Testing Scope is only: Radio Frequency (RF), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), and Electrical Safety (CB safety). Hence, there are two types of test reports missing: Laser Safety and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) reports.
For these two types of reports, currently, the accreditations are only assigned to local labs. This means, that devices that have optical interfaces that are mandatory to do laser safety testing, as well as Tablet and Mobile Phones that are mandatory to do SAR tests, are only allowed to do both tests in the local lab.
