We ensure that your products meet all the necessary Brazilian regulations to enter this vibrant market.

What is ANATEL Certification?

The National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) has been the governing body in charge of certifying telecommunications devices and verifying that they meet quality and security standards as well as authorized technical performance.

Long-distance connection, broadcast, emission, or receipt of information, sounds, radio broadcast data, energy, or any other electromagnetic activity are all considered telecommunication. Anatel’s certification and authorization guarantee the usage of telecom equipment that complies with reliability and safety criteria.

What Are The Product Categories?

Category I products are those that can be utilized by end customers. This technology should undergo annual checks to ensure that its features have not changed during manufacturing and that it remains relevant to the industry. Examples of Category I products include:

• Mobile phone
• Lithium-ion cell phone batteries
• Mobile phone chargers

Category II includes the gadgets that produce radio waves, like AM and FM broadcasters and receivers. These devices must be re-evaluated every two years. If the requirements have stayed the same, testing methods are not necessary. Examples of Category II products include:

• Wifi Networking Hardware
• Gadget for Radio Frequency Control
• Wireless antennas and units

Category III items are those that meet regulatory standards for durability and electromagnetic interference. These technologies work on their own and, therefore, have no direct interactions with the end customer. This device does not require any additional inspection or assessment.
