ANATEL Certification

In 2006, Master Certificações received the designation from ANATEL, by act No. 57860, to exercise on behalf of ANATEL, under the terms approved by the Regulation for Certification and Approval of Telecommunications Products and consolidated in the Term of Responsibility No. 013/RFGCT/RFCE/ SRF the functions of Designated Certification Body – OCD.

The Designated Certification Body is the legally constituted technical institution that, by delegation from ANATEL, conducts processes for assessing the conformity of telecommunications products, within the scope of compulsory certification, and issues the corresponding certificates of conformity. The certificates of conformity for telecommunications products issued by the OCDs are a necessary prerequisite for obtaining approval by ANATEL, for the purposes of marketing and legal use of these products in Brazil.
