Brazil has the strongest economy in Latin America, with a developed agricultural and livestock sector, a solid industrial base, and leading industries in the manufacture of civil light aircraft and biofuels.

 

Brazil's population is approximately 220 million, and the gross domestic product (GDP) for 2023 is 10.9 trillion reais, reflecting a 2.9% increase from the previous year.

 

How to Get ANATEL Certification in Brazil?(图1)


Introduction to anatel certification

ANATEL is Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency, which regulates the entry of telecommunication and radio equipment into the Brazilian market. The certification consists of an ANATEL certificate and a compliance certificate issued by a designated certification body (OCD). All telecommunication products and accessories must obtain ANATEL certification to be commercially viable and legally used in Brazil.

 

Scope of ANATEL Certification Applicable Products

The following three categories of products must apply for ANATEL certification to be sold in Brazil:

 

- Category I (Terminal Equipment)

  - Lithium batteries

  - Mobile phone chargers

  - Mobile phones

  - Satellite phones

  - Modems

  

- Category II (Radio Frequency Equipment)

  - RF products

  - Receivers

  - Transmitters

  - Broadcasting equipment

  

- Category III (Cables)

  - Optical fiber cables

  - Cable connectors, etc.

 

ANATEL Certification Process

1. Prepare the samples: both standard and fixed-frequency samples.

2. Send to the laboratory for a preliminary scan. If it passes, send it to a Brazilian laboratory for testing. (The JJR laboratory in China has long-term cooperation with local Brazilian labs, which can help save 30% on certification costs.)

3. Prepare the documentation (schematics, user manuals, PCB layout, ISO 9001, etc.).

4. Upon passing the tests, the certification will be issued.

 

Important Notes for ANATEL Certification

1. Brazil’s electrostatic discharge requirement is ±8KV contact discharge, which differs from CE requirements. Many products pass CE certification but fail ANATEL’s electrostatic tests.

2. The official language of Brazil is Portuguese, so manuals must be in Portuguese.

3. The ISO 9001 certificate of the factory must also be in Portuguese.

4. Certificates for Category I and II products are valid for two years and can be renewed if necessary after expiry.

5. ANATEL allows for series applications based on completely identical electronic components, allowing for series models.

6. ANATEL requires that the certification be held by a local Brazilian company, necessitating a local agent.

 

ANATEL Nameplate Requirements

The nameplate must reflect the following information:

1. Product name;

2. Model;

3. Manufacturer's name;

4. Country of origin;

5. S/N code;

  

The minimum height for the ANATEL logo (as shown above) must be greater than 4mm, and the full text of "ANATEL" must have a height greater than 1mm. The product identification code format is “HHHHH-AA-FFFFF,” where HHHHH is a five-character alphanumeric code representing the product certification code; AA is a two-digit code indicating the year of certification issuance; FFFFF is a five-digit code indicating the product manufacturer.
