Overview
The reassessment of requirements and evaluation of current test methods with new versions of international standards can potentially result in changes to the testing procedures, which may affect the certification process for products. This public consultation can have a significant impact on wireless and ITE products in Brazil.
Noteworthy Proposals
The proposal to evaluate the need to carry out radiated immunity and radiated emission tests observing frequencies up to 6 GHz is particularly noteworthy, as this frequency range is commonly used by wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Impact on Definitions and Procedures
The proposed updates to the definitions for Class A and Class B equipment, as well as the test procedures for several test setups, can also influence the certification process for products. Additionally, the proposed test methods and requirements for embedded equipment used in vehicles may affect the automotive industry.
Significant Changes
Moreover, the proposed review of decision criteria for emission tests and the proposal for evaluating EMC tests on equipment that is not finished (modules) are significant changes that can impact the certification process for products.
Participation Opportunity
Overall, this public consultation presents an opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to the regulatory framework for the certification of products' electromagnetic compatibility in Brazil. The consultation is open until April 29th, 2023, and interested parties are encouraged to participate.
