7月30日，ANATEL发布了与ANATEL品牌符合性声明 (DoC) 指南相关的第5205号法案。 DoC 程序类似常规认证模式，但申请人 (当地代表) 可以直接向 ANATEL 申请该程序，而无需使用一个 OCD (OCD 在此模式下是可选的)。

带有 ANATEL 品牌的 DoC 仅适用于法案 7280 规定的几种类型的设备，例如：光纤连接器、同轴电缆连接器、xDSL 滤波器 – 开关分路器、空中光纤终端盒、地下光纤终端盒、住宅小区与小型商业建筑的地下光纤终端盒等。

本程序没有证书更新，即证书终身有效。

ANATEL – Act nº 5205 – Declaration of Conformity with ANATEL Brand

On July 30, ANATEL published the Act 5205 related to guideline of Declaration of Conformity (DoC) with ANATEL Brand (see English version annex). The DoC procedure looks pretty much like the regular certification mode, but the applicant (local rep) can apply the procedure directly with ANATEL without requiring the use of one OCD (OCD is optional in this mode).

The requirements are basically the same (representative letter, manual, internal and external pictures, Factory ISO and testing report (overseas ILAC testing report is acceptable) and the CoC will be replaced by a DoC declaration. Applicant will submit the files to ANATEL.

The DoC with ANATEL Brand is applicable only for a few types of equipment according to Act 7280, such as: Fiber Optic Connector, Connector for Coaxial Cable, xDSL Filter – Switch Splitter, Aerial Optical Terminal Box, Underground Optical Terminal Box, Underground Optical Terminal Box for Residential Areas and Small Commercial Buildings, etc.

This procedure does not have certificate renewal, i.e., the certificate is valid for lifetime.

Brazil 巴西

6 月 21 日，巴西国家电信管理局 (ANATEL) 发布了第 4521 号法案《进口电信产品操作程序》。

以下是对这项重要的新法案的总结：

1. 第 4521 号法案强制要求在进口过程之前颁发认证证书 (CoH)

2. 电信/射频产品的进口必须由认证证书 (CoH) 的申请人或 CoH 申请人授权的进口商完成

3. 电信/射频产品进口前，必须有ANATEL标签

4. 对于样品将运往巴西进行测试 (为了获得 ANATEL 批准) 的情况，海关可能会要求进口商与巴西认证机构 (OCD) 或实验室之间签订合同

5. 对于打算运往巴西进行展示或其他特定条件 (非商业化或自用) 的设备，进口商必须从 ANATEL 获得临时许可证

ANATEL publishes Act 4521 Operating Procedure for Importing Telecommunication Products

On June 21, the authority Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL) in Brazil published the Act 4521 Operating Procedure for Importing Telecommunication Products.

Here is a summary on this important new Act which reaffirms some things that we already knew but now in formal writing:

1. Act 4521 ratifies mandatory to have the Certificate of Homologation (CoH) issued prior to the importation process.

2. The importation of telecommunication/RF products must be done by the applicant of the Certificate of Homologation (CoH) or by an importer authorized by the applicant of the CoH.

3. Before the telecommunication/RF product is imported, it must have the ANATEL label (except for some situations like batteries/power supplies used with cell phones, where the regulatory label is bought locally and it is OK to apply the label after the units arrive in the country).

4. For the situations where samples will be shipped to Brazil for testing purposes (in order to obtain ANATEL approval), customs may require a contract between the importer and the Brazil Certification Body (OCD) or Lab. We have not seen customs asking for this for any of our shipments, but if this happens we can provide the quote from some Certification Bodies in Brazil (OCD) that we usually cooperate with and also provide the proper explanations.

5. For devices meant to be shipped to Brazil for demonstration or other specific conditions (not commercialization or own use), the importer must to obtain a temporary license from ANATEL.

In summary, nothing really changes in our day-to-day routine, we can continue shipping samples through Courier (DHL, FEDEX, UPS). We just need to keep paying attention to the Courier Rules enforced by customs in Brazil in order to avoid getting a Yellow or Red light at customs.

South Korea to change energy efficiency standards for washing machines, Kimchi refrigerators and electric cooling and heating equipment

On 6 August 2021, the South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) issued a draft amendment to the Regulation on Energy Efficiency Labelling and Standards, also known as the South Korean Standby Regulation or Energy Efficiency Management of Operational Equipment Regulation.

The draft amendment proposes to raise the energy efficiency standards of certain equipment subject to efficiency management and to establish mid-long term target consumption efficiency for those products.

The key changes of the draft include:

Kimchi refrigerators:

oincrease in efficiency grade and MEPS;

oaddition of energy efficiency target for years of 2025 and 2028 by products type;

Washing machines:

oimprovement of efficiency grade and MEPS;

oaddition of energy efficiency target for years of 2025 and 2028 by general washing machines and drum washing machines;

ochanges items to be indicated on the energy grade label from “power consumption per kg” to “power consumption for one washing”, and from “water consumption per 1 kg of washing” to “water consumption per washing”;

Electric air conditioners/heaters:

oincrease in efficiency grade and MEPS;

oaddition of energy efficiency target for years of 2025 and 2028 by products type;

oseparate indication of cooling and heating efficiency on energy grade label etc.

The proposal relaxes existing labelling requirements to allow certain items such as electric refrigerators and kimchi refrigerators to bear the efficiency rating label on the side of the product (and not on the front of the apparatus as currently required).

Once approved, the changes made to the energy efficiency standards for kimchi refrigerators and washing machines will become effective on July 1, 2022. The proposed amendments to energy efficiency standards for electric air conditioners/heaters are scheduled to enter into force on October 1, 2022.
