Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency, ANATEL, has released Resolution No. 780/2025, introducing major changes to the telecom product certification and conformity assessment process. Effective August 1, 2025, the regulation strengthens compliance requirements, expands marketplace accountability, and supports digital inclusion through refurbished products.
Key updates include:
- Expanded list of violations
The number of violations increased from 5 to 12, now including storage, importation, advertising, and sale of uncertified telecommunications products.
- Marketplace responsibility
Marketplaces are now jointly liable for non-compliant products.
- Open access to certification
Any legal entity can now apply for Anatel product certification, even without a direct relationship with the manufacturer.
- Flexible labeling requirements
The Anatel label is no longer required before importation. It must appear in documentation and be visible before commercialization.
- Refurbished product certification
Refurbished telecom equipment is now eligible for certification when used in public digital inclusion programs, provided it meets technical standards and carries a distinct label.
- Application of Brazil’s Consumer Protection Code (CDC)
The CDC now applies subsidiarily to Anatel’s framework, enhancing consumer rights in telecom product sales and certification.
