New Guidelines for Telecommunication Certification Procedures Established in Brazil

Published /Brazil

On April 20th, 2020, the Superintendent of Grant and Resources to the Provision of the National Telecommunications Agency published Act 2220, effective from April 22nd, 2020.

This operational procedure establishes the rules and documentation required for the assessment of product conformity for telecommunication certification requests. It specifically addresses the assessment process conducted by a Designated Certification Body (OCD) and other entities involved, including Testing Laboratories and Claimants.

Certification Models Considered for This Procedure:

  1. Certification based on Type Testing, subjected to laboratory tests (type 1a certification scheme).
  2. Certification based on Type Testing with Periodic Product, with periodic product evaluation (type 4 certification scheme).
  3. Certification based on Type Testing with Periodic Evaluation of the Product and the Factory Management System (type 5 certification scheme).

Important Information:

In cases of non-conformities with the test, if the manufacturer declares that the sample is restricted to the batch analyzed, to certify compliance with all technical requirements, the manufacturer must submit a declaration justifying the occurrence. This will be evaluated and approved by the OCD report, and a copy of this declaration will be attached to the process.

The identification and version of the equipment's firmware or software should be included in the "additional comments" field of the OCD report.
