Anatel Updates Public Consultation Proposal

Anatel has updated its public consultation proposal regarding the standard, in light of new transmission technologies for portable products and their impacts on the assessment of SAR limit compliance using the Time-Period Averaging Specific Absorption Rate (TAS) technique.

The demand for TAS originated from a meeting held on February 19, 2020, where Qualcomm presented the TAS-based Smart Transmit™ technology to the Certification Body and its Managers. During this meeting, the company requested the inclusion of testing procedures in Annex I of Act No. 955/2018, enabling SAR assessment of terminals through an appropriate procedure for the dynamic transmission conditions offered by this technology.

Additionally, the addition of Public Consultation 69 aims to review other topics from Annex I to Act No. 955/2018 for:

  • Update of normative references,
  • Expansion of the radio spectrum evaluation range,
  • Adequacy of content to align with current national and international standards.

Public Consultation 69 also considers a re-assessment of the rules to be applied during laboratory tests.
