Update on Brazil's EMC Testing Mandate for Products

Brazil OCDs faced numerous products aiming to comply with the August 28th, 2018 deadline, which required mandatory EMC testing for radiated emissions and immunity testing for products in Category I and II.

Due to the limited guidance on testing procedures for laboratories, Anatel has decided to postpone the implementation of this law until September 27, 2018.

This collaborative effort by all OCDs in Brazil has culminated in Public Consultation #19. They proposed to insert an article into Act 6506 (Annex 4.6) which contains the following transition rule:

"The conditions established in Article 1 of Act 4735 of June 21st, 2018 shall remain in force for thirty (30) days after the publication of this Act on August 28th, 2018, concurrently with the rules approved by this instrument."
