The comment period ends on March 3, 2000. The three following categories of products are subject to certification and homologation. Category I includes terminal equipment to be connected to the fixed telephone service support network. Category II is equipment not included in Category I but that uses the radioelectrical spectrum. Mutual recognition agreements are encouraged.
Certification is the first step in the process to obtain homologation.
Homologation is mandatory and must be obtained before products may be marketed and used in Brazil. A more detailed report may be issued later, after the 33-page regulation has been analyzed further. The comment period ends February 21, 2000. No public hearing is scheduled. This regulation defines the electrical safety requirements for Category I products.
