Anatel

NCC has a team with recognized technical, administrative, and operational expertise to implement and conduct product certification for telecommunications. It supports the process with essential information to ensure compliance with the standards issued or accepted by Anatel in a straightforward and efficient manner. This guarantees that commercial representatives and manufacturers have their products evaluated according to Anatel’s (National Telecommunications Agency – Brazil) established requirements, obtaining full access to the Brazilian market with Anatel homologation identification.

Anatel certification for products subject to compulsory certification is a mandatory prerequisite for commercialization and use in the country.

Step-by-step (Macro) based on the current regulations of Anatel:

The certification applicant sends the product's technical specification to the OCD.

The OCD evaluates whether the product is eligible for homologation. If eligible, the following steps are taken:

The OCD generates the product's Technical Requirement and requests a quotation from Anatel-accredited laboratories for testing;

The OCD prepares a commercial proposal for the applicant;

The applicant approves the OCD's commercial proposal.

The applicant approves the LAB commercial proposal (if applicable).

The applicant receives information on sending samples to laboratories, a list of documents, and the necessary information for each specific type of telecommunications product.

The OCD conducts the technical compliance evaluation of the product (test reports, documents, and applicable information) and issues a technical opinion (Technical Compliance Certificate or Technical Pending Report).

The OCD submits the documents in Anatel's computerized system.

Anatel evaluates the process and, if compliant, issues the Homologation Certificate, allowing the product to be marketed and/or used in the national territory.

Maintenance for the compliance modality based on Certification:

Certification based on Type Testing with Periodic Evaluation of the Product and the Manufacturing Management System every 2 (two) years; and Certification based on Type Testing with Periodic Evaluation of the Product and the Manufacturing Management System every 3 (three) years.
