Reevaluation of Certification Rules

Due to the current dynamics of the telecom sector, characterized by fast-paced technological development and the manufacture of products on a global scale, Anatel has decided to reevaluate the rules on certification and approval of products for telecommunications. Since the publication of the "Regulation for Certification and Approval of Products for Telecommunications" in 2000, Anatel has made several modifications to the regulatory process over the past fifteen years.

Now, a regulatory project has been drawn to replace the following resolutions:

• No. 242: Regulation for Certification and Validation of Products for Telecommunications (11/30/2000)
• No. 323: Certification of Products for Telecommunications (11/07/2002).

Consequently, Public Consultation No. 33 has been opened on Nov. 28th, 2017, to showcase the project and receive the opinions of those involved in this business sector in Brazil, which will continue until Feb. 25th, 2018.

The project can be reviewed in its original Portuguese at the following link: https://sistemas.anatel.gov.br/SACP/Contribuicoes/TextoConsulta.asp?CodProcesso=C2063&Tipo=1&Opcao=andamento

UPDATE: The public consultation has been extended until April 1st, 2018.

We will keep you informed of any changes.
