Hello Peter & all, regarding Brazil, for telecom & radio equipment subject to ANATEL approval, a new scheme is going to be adopted in short (it was scheduled for final May). In this new scheme, draft regulations containing safety & emc requirements were also published.
On one side, EMC draft includes both radiated and conducted emission requirements, EMI and strength requirements, based on IEC and CISPR standards with some modifications. On the other side, electrical safety draft contains protection requirements against acoustic shock, fire risk, electrical shock and overheating, based on IEC and ITU standards. However, they are less restrictive and do not cover some important issues as mechanical strength, protective earthing or information to be included in the users and operations manual. For other goods, as far as I know, there exists voluntary standards based on standards from the Brazilian Standardisation Body (ABNT). EMC standards are based on CISPR standards. Regarding safety, some comments were sent to this list and it seems like Brazil is going to adopt a similar scheme for safety as the one adopted in Argentina (harmonisation for MERCOSUR). If somebody out there has additional/different info, I would appreciate your info/corrections.
