Brazil ANATEL Certification Process

 Brazil ANATEL Certification Process


I. What is ANATEL Certification?



Telecommunications products manufactured in Brazil or elsewhere require ANATEL certification before entering the Brazilian market. ANATEL certification primarily focuses on product safety and compliance with Brazilian telecommunications law.


ANATEL is the regulatory body for telecommunications equipment in Brazil, overseeing the entry of telecommunications and radio equipment into the Brazilian market. Before obtaining ANATEL formal approval, applicants must apply for a Declaration of Conformity (CoC) from an ANATEL-authorized Certification Organization (OCD). Only after preparing the necessary documents through OCD can an ANATEL certification application be submitted.


II. What Types of Products Require Certification?


ANATEL has a list of products requiring certification. These mainly fall into three categories:

Type I: Terminal equipment intended for public use to facilitate the public benefit of telecommunications services. Common examples include 2G/3G products such as mobile phones, satellite phones, VoIP phones, mobile phone batteries, mobile phone adapters, mobile phone power banks, telephone signal lines, and modems.


Type II: Any device using radio waves not covered by Type I, such as low-voltage devices, unlicensed equipment, and antennas.


Common examples include products like Wi-Fi, BitTorrent, NFC, and LoRa, such as television and radio antennas, receivers, transmitters, wireless network equipment, and RF automation equipment.


Type III: Any device regulated by Anatel's rules and regulations not covered by Type I or II. Examples include fiber optic cables, cable connectors, mobile network signal transmitters, and switches.


III. My Product Certification Process?


IV. What's Required for Product Certification?


After confirming the product category, OCD will send a business proposal document. Upon acceptance of the proposal, the customer must send the following documents to OCD:


● Product technical specifications;


● User manual


● External and internal photos of the product;


● ISO 9001;


● Basic customer information and product information;


● Some documents requiring signature, such as a letter of authorization.


After sending these documents, the laboratory will begin testing the product. The certification process is complete when ANATEL publishes the approval certificate for its product on the SGCH website and generates an approval number.

Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued

图片
 Power Bank Safety Upgrade: First Mandatory National Standard Issued my country's first mandatory national standard, the "Technical Specification for Safety of Power Banks," was published on March 31, 2026, and will officially take effect on April 1, 2027. This standard aims to end long-standing problems in the power bank industry, such as falsely advertised capacity, substandard battery cells, and frequent safety incidents. The new regulation introduces several stringent technical requirements, mandating that battery cells pass a needle penetration test (without catching fire or exploding), and strengthening thermal abuse testing; it also adds tests for whole-device drop and crushing, requires products to be labeled with a safe service life, and improves various protection mechanisms.

EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2 EU Electronics Standards

图片
To reduce e-waste, the EU is committed to promoting a unified charging technology and interface that supports a variety of electronic products. On November 23, 2022, the EU issued Directive EN IEC 62680-1-3/62680-1-2, requiring electronic product manufacturers to use USB-C charging interface technology in their products. It also requires small and medium-sized portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and cameras, as well as laptops, to comply with the USB-C charging interface requirement by 2024 and 2026, respectively. The IEC 62680 testing equipment GRL-USB-PD-C2-EPR, formerly the USB-IF Association's USB PD certification testing instrument, performs PD protocol certification testing. IEC 62680-1-2 and IEC 62680-1-3 incorporate the USB-IF USB PD and Type-C specifications and are currently used for protocol testing and certification corresponding to IEC 62680. IEC 62680-1-2 primarily defines the USB PD power supply specification; IEC 62680-1-3 is a specification ...

What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration?

 What is FDA Certification & What is FDA Registration? I. What is the FDA? The FDA, authorized by the U.S. Congress (the federal government), is the highest law enforcement agency specializing in food and drug regulation. Its full name is the Food and Drug Administration. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as FDA certification; the FDA itself has stated this. Generally, when people talk about FDA certification, they are referring to the following three types: FDA registration, FDA testing, and FDA approval. ① FDA Registration: Companies exporting food, drugs, and medical devices to the United States must register with the FDA, listing their company and products. Otherwise, customs clearance will be denied; this is a mandatory requirement. ② FDA Testing: FDA testing primarily refers to safety testing of food contact materials, testing of product contact packaging, biocompatibility testing of medical products, and clinical safety testing. ③ FDA Approval: This usually appli...
