ANATEL's Recent Changes
On October 12th, 2017, ANATEL published Resolution Nº 686, revoking thirty-six (36) previous resolutions, with full enforcement by February 13th, 2018.
Last Friday, February 9th, 2018, ANATEL published thirty-six (36) new standards, referred to as Acts. These replace the commonly known Resolutions, such as SAR (Res. 533), Safety (Res. 529), and EMC (Res. 442), among others. These new Acts are in full effect as of February 13th, 2018.
These new Acts HAVE NOT MODIFIED the existing Resolutions; they represent distinct and different norms that enable ANATEL to simplify future modifications without extensive government intervention.
Summary of Resolutions and Act Changes
A partial list of the most used Resolutions and their corresponding Acts changes are as follows:
- Res. 609/2013 Point to Point Antenna is now ACT 932

These changes are immediate and will impact future testing requirements by OCDs in Brazil. However, devices already holding ANATEL homologation will be grandfathered until the renewal process. Additionally, products currently going through certification will be exempt from these new changes.
