APPROVAL FORMS
There are two main approval forms in the ANATEL system:
- The Certificate of conformity
- The Declaration of conformity
Most of the products from the List fall under Certification. Near 15% of products need to be declared. ANATEL certificate of conformity does not give the opportunity to sell products in Brazil. It just shows that the product meets all necessary technical requirements and can successfully and safely operate as a part of the Brazilian telecommunication system. So, there is one more approval document, the so-called ANATEL Homologation Certificate that gives you opportunity to enter the Brazilian market with your products and sell it to all interested parties. It is to be issued under the Certificate of conformity. In such a way, the manufacturer should also apply ANATEL Homologation Certificate in order the product can be successfully commercialized in Brazil.
THE PROCESS OF ANATEL CERTIFICATION
Step 1: What should we start with? First of all the manufacturer should apply for the tests. The thing is that ANATEL does not assume recognition of foreign test reports. All tests are to be conducted in-country, in accredited certification laboratories.
Step 2: When ANATEL test reports are ready we can apply for ANATEL certificate of conformity through the accredited certification body (OCD).
Step 3: And the final step is appling to ANATEL for the Certificate of Homologation.
All process takes 2-3 months and can be started only through the Local company (so-called Local Representative). This company takes responsibility for product quality, marketing, technical support, and warranty. But it can be also a third party if there is still no distributor in Brazil. As soon as you find a trade partner there you can ask the local representative for an authorization letter, so, he can use the issued documents of conformity.
