Brazil's Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL) is developing CERTIFICA, a new digital system for telecommunications product certification and homologation workflow management. ANATEL's official ICT inventory, published with Portaria Anatel No. 3109/2025, identifies CERTIFICA as the 'Sistema de Certificação da Anatel', built on OutSystems and currently 'Em desenvolvimento'.

The same inventory lists Mosaico-SCH, the current product certification and homologation module, with an end-of-life strategy to deactivate it, while the legacy SGCH is listed as a candidate for deactivation and replacement. At the 29th Telecommunications Product Certification Forum on May 29, 2026, ANATEL also stated that Serpro and artificial intelligence would support efforts to make CERTIFICA more agile.

The official sources reviewed do not establish a new RF, EMC, safety, product-scope or labeling requirement and do not provide a binding public cutover date for CERTIFICA. A secondary OCD publication dated August 21, 2026 reports an expected full-operation date of August 31, 2026 after testing and indicates that representation between applicants and OCD personnel will be handled through SEI-Anatel; that timeline is expressly subject to change and should not be treated as an official mandatory deadline unless ANATEL formally confirms it.

Impact

Impact assessment: Medium. The update is operational rather than a new technical conformity rule, but migration from legacy certification/homologation systems can affect how applications are represented, submitted, reviewed and tracked. Official ANATEL records show CERTIFICA under development, Mosaico-SCH targeted for deactivation, and SGCH targeted for replacement; ANATEL has also announced use of artificial intelligence to make CERTIFICA more agile.

Who is affected?

Manufacturers, Brazilian applicants/importers, Designated Certification Bodies (OCDs), test laboratories and compliance teams managing ANATEL projects.

Conclusion:

stakeholders should monitor ANATEL's formal cutover instructions and verify SEI access/representation readiness. The August 31, 2026 date reported by an OCD should be treated as an operational forecast, not as a binding ANATEL deadline unless officially confirmed.
