Brazil's Public Consultation No. 51

Brazil's Public Consultation No. 51 proposes updates to the Technical Requirements for the Conformity Assessment of Restricted Radiation Radiocommunication Equipment, as established by Law No. 14,448 on December 4, 2017. The aim is to incorporate new technologies and align with international standards.

Key Areas of Focus

  1. Wireless Microphones and Audio Equipment: This category encompasses devices for capturing and transmitting audio wirelessly, including handheld microphones, lavalier microphones, wireless in-ear monitors, and audio mixers, widely used in events, broadcasting, and entertainment.

  2. Vehicle Radar Systems: These systems enhance vehicle safety and navigation by detecting obstacles and road conditions. Examples include adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, collision avoidance, and parking assistance systems.

  3. Telecommunication Equipment: This includes devices for transmitting and receiving communication signals, such as Wi-Fi routers, point-to-point communication systems, customer premises equipment (CPE), and wireless broadband devices.

  4. Aviation Radar Systems: Essential for navigation and safety, these systems include ground-based radar for air traffic control, onboard radar for aircraft, weather radar systems, and radar altimeters.

  5. Digital Audio Transmission Systems: These systems facilitate the digital transmission of audio signals wirelessly, utilized in professional audio applications, including wireless multichannel audio systems, digital wireless microphones, in-ear monitoring systems, and audio distribution systems.

Public comments on the proposed updates will be accepted from October 21, 2024, to December 29, 2024. Stakeholders are encouraged to participate in this consultation to help shape the future of restricted radiation equipment certification in Brazil.
