ANATEL's Analysis Document addresses the re-evaluation of the Regulation on Conformity Assessment and Approval of Telecommunications Products, originally approved by Resolution No. 715 of 2019.

This re-evaluation is part of Item 18 of the 2025–2026 Regulatory Agenda and responds to the need to modernize the regulations to adapt them to technological developments, market demands, and international recommendations.

The proposal was formulated after a series of formal stages: preparation of the Project Opening Terms, formation of a technical team, issuance of a Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA), public consultation, analysis of contributions, legal opinions, and final draft of the draft resolution.

The direct impact is on telecommunications product manufacturers, importers and distributors, marketplaces and e-commerce platforms, and consumers.

CONCLUSION:

The revision of the Regulation on Conformity Assessment and Approval of Telecommunications Products represents a significant step toward more modern, effective regulation aligned with international standards. It strengthens ANATEL's authority, fosters fair competition, and protects consumers, consolidating a more transparent and secure market environment.
