Expansion of Testing Requirements
ANATEL has extended the application of radiated emission and irradiated immunity tests to transceivers, which are now required to be tested according to Act 14448 and Resolution 680 (WIFI, Bluetooth, RFID, etc.). All products that comply with Acts 14448 and Resolution 680 will be affected, as follows:
Categories of Testing
-
Category I: Radiated emission and radiated immunity tests were previously applicable, but for WLAN RF interfaces, WPAN were not required to be operational during these tests. Consequently, if maintenance is performed, these tests must be redone.
-
Category II: Radiated emission and radiated immunity tests will become mandatory after two months from today or until ANATEL completes its studies, whichever occurs first.
Future Public Consultation
The agency plans to initiate a public consultation soon to define the method for conducting these tests. Among the options being considered are:
- Performing tests with all technologies operational simultaneously, which would be a more cost-effective approach.
- Conducting tests for each technology separately, which would result in significantly higher costs.
