A certification of radio products for the Brazilian market is based on an approval from the local authority, AgênciaNacional De Telecomunicações (ANATEL). ANATEL divides the product to three different categories:

• Category I includes end user products, such as mobile phones, lithium battery and chargers for cell phone, and modems: the certificate for this product is only valid for one year and renewal is allowed with unchanged devices.

• Category II includes products that use radio frequency (RF), such as radio broadcasting equipment, antennas, and Wi-Fi network equipment: the approval is valid for a total of two years and can be renewed as well.

• Category III includes products such as cable connectors and fiber optic cables: the product is permanently approved for the Brazilian market.


For all three categories, the approval required local testing and a local representative must be involved in certification process. The final ANATEL certificate is carried out by a Designated Certification Body (OCD).
