Hello Gail & all, First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Alejandro Torrecilla and I work in the company CETECOM (Malaga - Spain). I am very involved in Latin American approvals and think that I can help you with your question.
If the modem you refer to is an analogue modem, in order to put the product into Chilean market you will have to pass through the telecommunications approval (not EMC, Safety). The approvals body is SUBTEL and it is necessary for you to test the equipment in a Chilean laboratory. Regarding rest of Latin America, the countries which requires approval for your equipment are: ARGENTINA Telecommunications approval for the modem. Safety approval for the complete product. BRAZIL Telecommunications approval for the modem. NOTE: A new approvals procedure will entry into force during this year and you will have to comply with telecommunications but also EMC and Safety requirements. MEXICO Telecommunications approval for the modem. Safety for the complete product. PERU Telecommunications approval for the modem ECUADOR Telecommunications approval for the modem URUGUAY Approval mandatory for the equipment to be connected to the public operator (ANTEL) VENEZUELA Authorisation letter for commersialising the product in Venezuela. Not mandatory but recommended. OTHERS: For other Latin American countries, foreign certificates accepted or no approval requirements. Hope it helps you, Alejandro Torrecilla Cetecom > ---------- > De: Gail Birdsall[SMTP:[email protected]] > Responder a: Gail Birdsall > Enviado el: martes 29 de febrero de 2000 16:05 > Para: '[email protected]' > Asunto: Modem Requirements for Chile > > > We are using a modem in a product that has FCC and Canadian approvals. > Can > anyone out there tell me, if there are any approvals needed (beyond > what we > have) for Chile (S.
