The Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) has implemented a significant policy change regarding the status of technical compliance certificates. Effective immediately, certificates that have been expired for more than 180 days will be automatically canceled and cannot be renewed.

For companies affected by this change, it is important to note that a complete re-certification process will be required for any certificate that has lapsed beyond this period. This process entails all necessary testing to ensure compliance with regulatory standards, culminating in the issuance of a new Technical Compliance Certificate and a new ANATEL ID.

Additionally, products already in stock will need to be updated to reflect the new ANATEL ID. This ensures that all inventory complies with the latest certification requirements.

Organizations are encouraged to proactively manage their certification timelines to avoid disruptions in compliance and product availability. For further details and guidance on the re-certification process, stakeholders should consult ANATEL’s official resources.
