ANATEL published new Act. 14448 on January 2, 2018 to replace the ANNEX I of Act. 11542 which the technical requirements are described. According to Act.14448, additional tests for radiated emissions (CISPR 22) and immunity for radio frequency disturbances (IEC 61000-4-3) will be required for category II products, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth devices, Wireless Keyboard, Wireless Mouse, Car Keys, etc. But local OCD and test labs are still working the proposal to ANATEL to finalize the technical details.

The new Act. 14448 will be enforced after 90 days since the publication date. For the existing certificates which are closer to the expiry date, new testing items are not required if the renewal application is uploaded to ANATEL before April 2, 2018. If the renewal application is processed after the enforcement date, April 2, 2018, new test and technical limits might be applicable.
