ANATEL Establishes New Homologation Requirements for Amateur Radio Equipment

Published November 23, 2018/Brazil

New Guidelines from ANATEL

On November 23, ANATEL published Act 8416, defining the technical requirements for the homologation of transmitters, receivers, and linear amplifiers used in the Amateur Radio Service. Previously, these products could be approved directly with ANATEL through a declaration of conformity.

Now, only amateur radios intended for private use can receive approval via declaration of conformity. In contrast, amateur radios intended for commercialization must be homologated through the OCD process.
