Following the approval of Resolution 715 of October 23, 2019, on February 29, 2024, the Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) issued Public Consultation No. 13 on the reassessment of the Regulations on Conformity Assessment and Approval of Telecommunication Products. This public consultation concerns the proposed amendments to the Brazilian Regulation on Conformity Assessment and Approval of Telecommunications Products. The current regulations are designed to speed up the approval process and improve the flexibility of approval, but there are also some problems that need to be improved in light of the actual situation. The proposed amendments aim to adapt the regulation to technological advances, address piracy and e-commerce, expand eligibility for approval, and reduce barriers for importers. Previously, the certification of refurbished products was exempt, but this draft mentions that refurbished products are allowed to be certified, but must include a logo to distinguish them from products manufactured in ordinary processes.
