FMB001 Anatel certificate
Description
A certification of radio products for the Brazilian market is based on an approval of the local authority Agência Nacional De Telecomunicações (Anatel). The certification relates to national specifications for the testing and certification process and is the basis for a market approval for Brazil.
Categories
The Anatel certification is relevant to a variety of products and the process divides the products into three different categories.
Cat. I: Terminal Equipment
This category includes products such as mobile phones, mobile phone chargers or modems. The approval for these products is valid for one year and the certification process usually requires ten to twelve weeks.
Cat. II: Restricted Radiation Equipment
For this category, which includes products using technologies such as WLAN, Bluetooth or radar, manufacturers must also schedule a period of ten to twelve weeks for the certification process. The approval is valid for a total of two years.
Cat. III: Remaining Radio Equipment
Products from this category (mobile network signal transmitters, cable connectors, fiber optic cables) are permanently approved for the Brazilian market. This means that a recertification is not necessary for unchanged devices.
For all three categories, the tests required for market approval must be carried out in a local laboratory in Brazil. Furthermore, as part of the certification process, a local representative must be involved. The Anatel certification is finally carried out by a so-called Designated Certification Body (OCD), which also needs to be involved as this step is also mandatory and defined by the rules of the authority.
