According to Section 6.2.1 of the "General Terms and Conditions for the Regulation of Digital Content Services", providers of website services that allow users to generate content and maintain a user comment section are required to implement a word filtering programme operated by the Communications Regulatory Commission. Reports indicate that this filtering software identifies prohibited keywords and replaces them with asterisks. However, the software is reportedly flawed, as it fails to consider the contextual meaning of words and indiscriminately blocks any terms containing letters or syllables resembling those of the prohibited words.

Prolonged processing times for international mail handling have been attributed to the customs clearance procedures administered by the International Mail Centre (IMC) of Mongolian Customs.

These standards include electromagnetic compatibility requirements. In addition, Section 6.5 states that if the CRC is unable to conduct testing and evaluation due to insufficient measurement capabilities or human resources, it may seek assistance from other governmental organisations of similar status, testing institutions, university laboratories, or accredited laboratories in foreign countries.
