With the booming global market for portable electronic devices, Brazil—Latin America’s largest economy—has emerged as a critical target market for power banks and mobile phone batteries. For domestic manufacturers and traders, mastering Brazil’s ANATEL certification requirements is the key pass to unlocking this blue ocean market.

I. What Is ANATEL Certification?

ANATEL (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações) certification is a mandatory certification system for telecom product access in Brazil. According to Brazilian regulatory requirements, all power banks and mobile phone batteries exported to Brazil must obtain ANATEL certification. This certification aims to ensure telecom products comply with Brazil’s technical standards and quality requirements, safeguarding consumer rights and network security.

II. Scope, Standards & Sample Requirements for Battery ANATEL Certification

Applicable Products

• Power banks (portable chargers)
• Mobile phone batteries
• Batteries for other wireless communication devices

Certification Standards Interpretation

ANATEL certification is primarily based on the following international standards:

Safety Standards

• IEC 62133-1/2: Testing standards for power banks
• IEC 61960-3: Testing standards for mobile phone batteries

EMC Standards

• IEC 61000-4-3: Radiated immunity testing standard
• IEC 61000-4-2: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity testing standard

Sample Requirements

For Power Banks

• Total Quantity Required: 20 cells + 30 power banks
• Allocation Plan:
  • Domestic pre-testing: 10 cells + 5 power banks
  • Shipment to Brazil: 10 cells + 25 power banks

For Mobile Phone Batteries

• Quantity for Shipment to Brazil: 41 batteries + 12 cells
• Additional samples are required for domestic pre-testing.

III. Key Nodes of the Certification Process

Overall Process

1. Select an ANATEL-accredited certification body
2. Conduct domestic pre-testing (recommended by Energy Storage Testing)
3. Ship samples to Brazilian laboratories
4. Obtain test reports and submit certification applications
5. ANATEL reviews and issues certificates

Cycle & Validity
