On March 3, 2022, ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) updated the Radiocommunications LIPD (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence and added the technical requirements of Wi-Fi 6E band 5 5925 ~ 6425 MHz. Previously, Australia considered opening the whole Wi-Fi 6E band 5925 ~ 7125 MHz. At present, it is opening 5925 ~ 6425 MHz first, and 6425 ~ 7125 MHz is still under consideration.
Here is the interpretation of relevant Australian regulations:
------------- Technical Requirements of LIPD -------------
Radiocommunications LIPD Class Licence Variation 2022 (No. 1), which Item 63AA and 63AB are inserted after item 63 (RLAN 5470-5600 MHz & 5650-5725 MHz):
As shown in the above table, at this stage, Wi-Fi 6E band 5 in Australia is only approved for Low Power Indoor (LPI) and Very Low Power (VLP).
-------------- Australia VS Europe & America --------------
Comparison of Wi-Fi 6E technical requirements between Australia, EU and the United States:
-------------------- AS/NZS 4268 Update --------------------
On November 19, 2021 last year, AS/NZS 4268:2017 updated a version of Amendment 1. The content is not much different from the original version. The main difference is that Figure 1 and Table 1 have added relevant descriptions of LIPD. The purpose of Amendment 1 is to refer users of this standard to the most current LIPD class licence information, to replace the information previously contained in Table 1.
Therefore, although the Wi-Fi 6E band is not added to table 1 in the latest version of AS/NZS 4268:2017 Amendment 1:2021 standard, the Wi-Fi 6E certification application in Australia still needs to be carried out according to the standard, and the test still needs to refer to CE / FCC.
Although Australia has opened Wi-Fi 6E certification application, it should be noted that New Zealand has not approved the use of Wi-Fi 6E at this stage. After New Zealand opens Wi-Fi 6E, BTL will share the latest information with you.

Overview of EN IEC 61000-4-29:2026
The key focus of the 2026 edition is to address new DC power distribution environments, especially higher-voltage DC systems. It also clarifies test generator capability, duration tolerance, current limitation during short interruptions, inrush current verification, result evaluation, and test report requirements. For products using 24 Vdc, 48 Vdc, 380 Vdc, 400 Vdc, 800 Vdc, or other DC input pow
