From: "Filiz Eryilmaz" <[email protected]> Barry,
>From my TREG Files: CHILE Telecommunication products: Homologation is required. Testing/Review for all products that will connect to national phone network. Specific Regulations for Satellite Receivers : Conditional, in process. Product Safety Testing: Lab testing must be done in labs in Chile. While not required,it is recommended that a Chilean Corporation request and hold Safety Certificate. Contact Address: CENET CHILE-TELEPHONE-REGULATORY AGENCY CEO:Mr.Jonny Wolf Address: Antura Prat 1171 of 304 Santiago, Chile (562-556-1535) Jonny Wolf @ CENET Chile. The Compliance Process: Chile has regulations requiring testing and certification. 1) Product Safety: Chile recognizes Safety Certification from other countries, as the basis for their approval. The products are required to be processed/tested in Chile. (enforcement of the regulations is very lax) Documentation: The following is required for Product Safety submission to a lab in Chile. -A Spanish Language Owners/Users Manual -Power Supply Schematics. Recommended additional Documentation ETL, UL, etc. Listing Letter and two samples to be submitted. Timing for the typical product safety test for electronic products two/three weeks. 2)Certification of Testing: Only Chilean Corporations may apply for and receive Certificates. Certificates are issued by CENET (Takes 2 to 4 weeks). CENET will also require a submittal of the manufacturer's Declaration of the Quality, in Spanish. 3) Telecommunications (Homologation) Approval: -Review- testing: Any product that will connect to the National Phone System or use radio frequencies must be submitted for evaluation/testing and licensing by the CENET. All products submitted for evaluation/testing must first be approved for Product Safety. *Telecommunications products with FCC Part 68 approval may be submitted for Review with three (3) copies of the FCC Part 68 report . This review takes about two (2) to four (4) weeks. After this is completed the Review Report or Lab Report is submitted to CENET with an Application for License. This takes approximately 20 working days from the receipt of documents for the File number/Certificate. 4) General Comment: Chile is a "free market", but has a political content beyond the Certification Process. Concessions have been granted to private companies to operate cable and cellular systems in Chile. Depending on he company that introduces the product into the Chilean Market, there is a potential for "Administrative Review" before Certification may be obtained. * Standard connection is RS-11. In very limited amounts, other older types are also present. Hope this helps.
