Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL) has announced a significant extension in the implementation deadlines through Ofícios 463-2023 and 464-2023, issued on December 14, 2023. The following Acts, originally slated for earlier enforcement, have now been postponed to December 14, 2024:
- Ato No. 7971 of June 22, 2023, which delineates technical requirements for evaluating compliance with the IPv6 protocol in telecommunications products.
- Ato 17087 of December 19, 2022, outlining technical requirements for ensuring electrical safety in the conformity assessment of telecommunications products.
This extension provides stakeholders with additional time to prepare and adapt to these crucial regulatory measures, fostering a smoother transition towards enhanced standards in Brazil’s telecommunications sector.
