Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has published issue 7 of ICES-003. Following are the main changes as published in the standard.
1. Changed title of the standard from Information Technology Equipment (Including Digital Apparatus) — Limits and Methods of Measurement to Information Technology Equipment (including Digital Apparatus)
2. Added requirements for devices with wireless power transfer functionality (section 1.3)
3. Removed requirements that are specified in ICES-Gen and referred to ICES-Gen for all general requirements (section 2.2)
4. Removed the alternative limits (ICES-003 now has only one set of limits), while continuing to allow either the CISPR or ANSI test methods (section 3)

The FCC has published an addendum to the draft U-NII 6 GHz certification guidance. The purpose of this document is to provide clarifications and updates to 987594 U-NII 6 GHz devices 5.925-7.125 GHz DR01-44057 during the commenting period. This addendum will evolve as the draft period continues, adding new items to the existing ones and incrementing the version.
A link to this addendum is here: http://bit.ly/6GHz-FCC-KDB-Addendum
In a related post, in August 2020 the FCC published guidance for certification of 6GHz devices, see posting "FCC publishes guidance on certification of 6 GHz devices operating in the 5.925 - 7.125 GHz U-NII band" for a link to that guidance document.
These documents are in support of the the newly published, May 2020, FCC rules, effective July 27, 2020, opening more spectrum for unlicensed use in the 5 to 7 GHz range. See "FCC Adopts Rules for Unlicensed Use of the 6 GHz Band"

Following the adoption of new rules published in May, 2020 allowing use of new spectrum for emerging "6 GHz" devices, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Laboratory Division has published a draft guidance document for public review covering certification of U-NII 6 GHz devices operating in the 5.925-7.125 GHz band.

On Friday, April 17, 2020 The European Parliament has adopted the Commission proposal to postpone the implementation of new approval rules for medical devices,
New regulations for medical devices, expected to be fully applicable on May 26, 2020, proposed to be postponed for 1 year (new effective date May 26, 2021).
In a press release by the European Parliament they note;
“The European Parliament is therefore supporting the proposal to postpone the application of this Regulation by one year to allow authorities and manufacturers alike to prioritise the fight against the coronavirus pandemic by continuing under current procedures.”
The European Member States will need to approve the proposal and publish in the Official Journal of the European Union. Expectations are this will happen prior to May 26, 2020.
The In Vitro Diagnostics Medical Devices Regulation is not affected by the new proposal, and its applicability date remains, effective May 26, 2022.
