Overview

In December 2018, Anatel published Resolution No. 700/2018, complemented by Oficio No. 659/2018. The resolution entered into force on January 30, 2019.

SAR Disclosure Requirements

The Resolution determines that the maximum measured value of a product’s Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) should be disclosed in its operating manual or packaging.

Since there is no available stamp of the measured SAR values to be included in the product’s operating manual on the manufacturer's website or the product homologator, this practice is contingent upon the presence of clear guidelines in the instructions manual accompanying the product. These guidelines should direct the consumer on how to obtain the electronic version of the manual.

These SAR values should be taken from the test reports obtained from conformity assessments performed in Brazil.

The manual that accompanies the product may be a simplified version of the complete manual, which is accessible electronically.
