- If the product is not suitable/updated when there is a change or edition of the applicable technical standards; - If the renewal/ periodic evaluation of the Technical Conformity Certificate is not carried out; - If there is disclosure of characteristics not informed/considered in the certification process; - When the holder of the approval requests the cancellation;

Yes, as long as the product is marketed in the country.

Yes, even if you do not have a company in Brazil, but for that your company must have a national partner (a company legally established in Brazil), a company that will be responsible for marketing the product, for guarantees, technical assistance and supply of parts.

The Manufacturing unit is the company responsible for the production/manufacturing (final assembly) of the product subject to approval.

The Manufacturer is the holder of the technology, the owner of the project, the developer of the product subject to approval.

ANATEL certification is the first step in the process to obtain Anatel approval. For certification, tests and presentation of documents are required. After issuance, the Technical Compliance Certificate is sent to Anatel together with the documents and reports for analysis and then the issuance of Anatel Homologation. After Anatel approval, the product can be marketed in Brazil.

Anatel Homologation is what enables a national company to market a telecommunications product in Brazil.

Anatel Certification is a set of regulated and standardized procedures that result in the issuance of a specific Certificate or Declaration of Conformity for telecommunications products.

ANATEL Approval is based on Resolution 715 (issued on 10/23/2019), which requests complements to operational procedures issued through Acts and Official Letters.

The right to use the approval identification cannot be transferred or assigned to third parties, except in the continuity of use by succession recognized by Anatel. The applicant for approval at Anatel is responsible for marketing the product in Brazil. The applicant can sell the product by providing an invoice to several Brazilian companies and these, in turn, can resell to any other company and so on. It is important to note that the first sale will be made by the Applicant of the approved product in its name. From then on, companies that buy your product will not need to approve it on your behalf, as the product will already be approved by the Applicant/distributor. Another possibility, provided by the regulation, is Sharing of Homologation, which does not imply transfer of ownership, but only the authorization (of the Homologation Applicant) to use it for marketing purposes. This authorization can be given by contract, written or tacit, in which the contracting parties join efforts to commercialize the approved product, being jointly severally responsible for the regulatory obligations inherent to the approval.

ANATEL does not allow the use of reports issued abroad, except for some exceptions provided in the Reference List of Telecommunications Products. The reports must be issued by laboratories authorized by Anatel in compliance with the Operating Procedure for Selection, Evaluation and Qualification of Testing Laboratories.

Yes, approval is required. There is an approval process by Declaration of Conformity, for cases of products intended for unique applications, special and/or low commercialization, and products of artisanal manufacturing or imported for the Applicant's own use . In these cases, they may be approved directly by Anatel, with the use or not of our services.

Yes, approval is necessary whenever the product is sold, even in small quantities.

Yes, as long as the product is listed in the Telecommunications Product Reference List. The products are described in the Reference List of Products for Telecommunications, following the Conformity Assessment Modality, whether by Declaration or Certification. Below are some examples of products included in this List: Cell Phone; cell phone battery; cell phone chargers; Restricted radiation transceivers; XDSL modem; antennas, radars, Digital Transceiver, Digital Switching Center; Rectifier Systems, among others.

Yes, as long as they are not products subject toANATEL Homologation. For products subject to approval by ANATEL, certification from other countries is not recognized, approval by ANATEL is required.

The duration of the process may vary depending on a few factors, such as: Tests: some products require more tests orwith longer duration x failure and need for retest; Documentation: sending the documents on the scheduled dates x pending issues. But in general, the processes last around two months: one month for the certification process and one month for the Homologation Process.

No. Renewals take place to prove that there were no changes to your product during the time the certificate was valid, hence the need to present current (new) samples.

Yes. The certificate of conformity must remain valid as long as the product is marketed. Periodic maintenance of the certificate must occur in advance to avoid its suspension.
