Dear Michael,
since your product is a GSM cell phone, you need to follow the ANATEL (Brazilian telecommunication agency) requirements. Take a look at the pages 40, 41 and 42 of the document at http://www.anatel.gov.br/Tools/frame.as ?link=/certificacao/requisitoscategoriai.pdf (unfortunately all the documentation are in Portuguese). You will need to perform the homologation here in Brazil. First, you need to contract an OCD (chose one from the address http://www.anatel.gov.br/index.asp?link=/certificacao/ocd.htm?Cod=1576) they will care of the process with the ANATEL. Second, a laboratory will test your product according to requirements. Since your product complies with those requirements, it will receive a homologation number and each unit shall carry an ANATEL label. It is all you need to put a telecommunication device here in Brazilian market. Regards Sérgio L.

De: Michael Taylor [mailto:[email protected]] Enviada em: sexta-feira, 11 de julho de 2003 11:19 Para: [email protected] Assunto: RF device certification in Brazil I have a question for this august body concerning RF device regulations in Brazil. All my queries to the Brazilian authorities have gone unanswered for weeks now and I am harassed daily by our marketing group who are anxious to sell in Brazil. The company has a new product that contains a 1.8Ghz GSM data link - used with equipment we produce. The unit operates as a "Mobile Cellular Device" as far as Cell Phone Providers are concerned. The user simply establishes a GSM cell phone account with a local cellular provider. The RF unit is an OEM module that has both US/Canada and EU-RTTE RF device certifications. The product meets Class B emissions. The unit is battery powered. Max power output is <1watt. QUESTIONS: 1. Are the current certifications adequate, or are additional certifications specific to Brazil required for the RF module. ??? 2. Are operating licenses required for this type of device (it works just like a cell phone) ??? 3. Are special government forms required for importation & operations of this product ??? Thank you very much for any assistance anyone can provide. Best Regards, Michael Taylor PE, NCE Ch. EMC Compliance Engineer Hach - Environmental Water Quality Division, Danaher Corp. Colorado, USA
