Module approval by Anatel is a fundamental process to ensure the technical and regulatory compliance of equipment using technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, and others.
Main steps of the process:
1️⃣ Gathering of technical documentation – manufacturer’s manuals, quality certificates (e.g., ISO 9001), external and internal photos, and authorization letters.
2️⃣ Laboratory tests – performed in Anatel-accredited laboratories, including radio frequency, power, spectrum, electromagnetic compatibility, and electrical safety tests, in accordance with applicable requirements.
3️⃣ Regulatory assessment – analysis of technical reports and documentation to ensure compliance with Brazilian standards.
4️⃣ Certificate issuance – after approval, the module receives a unique approval code, essential for its commercialization and legal use in Brazil.
Strategic point: When a module already has valid certification in Brazil, end-product manufacturers can take advantage of this partial approval, reducing the costs and timeframes of new certification processes.
Benefits of approval: In addition to being a legal requirement, it ensures product quality, prevents regulatory risks, and facilitates access to the domestic market.
