Brazil: Anatel Discussion Regarding Resolutions 442 and 506

ANATEL discussions with OCDs (Certification Bodies) and  Brazilian accredited laboratories took place in late August to review proposals for revision of two of the main Resolutions:

1. Radiation Restricted laboratory equipment (Resolution No. 506);
2. Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC (Resolution No. 442);

The meetings at Anatel were aimed to propose standardization of testing procedures and harmonization to international references. After a common understanding between the OCD´s/Testing Laboratories, Anatel will place the proposals  for public consultation prior to their official publication.


Best Regards, Peter

Brazil Anatel Employees On Strike

Many of Anatel  employees have agreed to go on strike. Anatel now has less than 50% of its operating capacity which has a tremendous impact on lead times for telecom product homologations. Lead times at the test labs and certification bodies remain the same.
