The main changes proposed by CRAN are:
1- Type approval certificate are to become per equipment: initial certificate holder will loose the exclusivity to use the certificate
2- CRAN commits to maintain a public registry of approved and exempted devices. CRAN already maintains such information on the database but it lacks regularity. There is no indication on information to be disclosed nor frequency of such publication.
3- Fees will be increased by 15% in average
