Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) has published new technical specifications for eSIM (eUICC) equipment and updated its equipment registration framework accordingly, with the related requirements taking effect on 27 August 2026. eUICC stands for Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card, commonly known as eSIM. IMDA has divided the eUICC requirements into two separate documents:

IMDA TS eUICC SMT – CE Device: applicable to Consumer Devices

IMDA TS eUICC SMT – M2M Device: applicable to Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Devices

From the effective date, applicants registering eSIM-enabled wireless products in Singapore must identify the applicable eUICC specification based on the product’s Remote SIM Provisioning architecture (for Consumer Devices, operator profiles are downloaded at the user’s initiative; for M2M Devices, they are pushed and managed by a back-end server) and demonstrate compliance with the corresponding technical specification. Otherwise, the registration application will be considered incomplete.
