As there’s no lab in Brazil has the 5G NR capability currently, ANATEL accepts 5G NR test reports from abroad labs of ILAC members which are issued within 2 years. 

BTL is approved by CNAS, and has equipped test facilities for G NR. BTL can issue test reports with CNAS & ILAC joint marking for Brazil ANATEL approval.

Affected by the COVID-19, ANATEL published the Official letter no 384/2020/ORCN/SOR-ANATEL which informed to extend the scope of renewal without sample on 22nd June, 2020. Previously, the scope of renewal without sample is for ANATEL certificates expired between 3/6 and 6/30, which now 3/6 to 9/31. That means ANATEL certificates expired before 9/31 can do the renewal without sending samples.
