Please, find the main changes below:
1) USB interfaces that integrate the electrical/electronic design of equipment (Example: TV, computer, Multimedia central, etc.) do not require ANATEL approval;
2) For Vehicular Chargers, the ESD tests must be applied in accordance with Item 8.3 of ISO 10605/2008 (before it was referring to IEC 61000-4-2). Electrostatic discharges must be applied at the following levels:
- a) 2 kV, 4 kV and 6 kV for contact discharges; and
- b) 4 kV, 6 kV and 8 kV for air discharges.
3) For Vehicular Chargers, the Surge and transient immunity testing must be performed in accordance with ISO 7637-2/2004;
4) For USB type built-in vehicular Chargers, ANATEL will accept the ESD (ISO 10605/2008), Surge and transients (ISO 7637-2/2004) testing report done in a 1st part or 2nd part laboratory (manufacturer lab, for example). The lab must be accredited by ILAC or evaluated by OCD. An example of the device under this scope is USB I/F Box;
5) The Use of Security seal (Mint label) will be optional for built-in vehicular Chargers sold along with the Vehicle. If the manufacturer chooses not to using the Mint Label, the device must have the ANATEL marking in its label, such as ANATEL ID: HHHHH-YY-FFFFF;
