According to Coimbra, the action is part of Anatel’s action plan against piracy, which removed 7.5 million products from the market, with an estimated value of R$630 million. Inspections have been carried out since 2018.
Every telecommunications product sold in Brazil must be approved by Anatel. The procedure is important to ensure that the product follows quality and safety standards, which are mandatory for devices that emit radio frequency.
To find out if the equipment is regularized with Anatel, it is necessary to check the presence of the approval seal on the product, in the manual or on the box. The seal guarantees technical assistance in the event of a defect.
