Last April ANATEL released the Act 5159 with new Mobile Phone charger requirements and it will become in force as for Oct 26th 2022. This act revokes the previous Act 3481, including some changes in the EMC testing for vehicle chargers, new mechanical testing for Wall Chargers’ Plugs and some others.
Last Friday (Oct 14th) ANATEL published the new Act 13423. This new act defines that the old Act 3481 will be revoked only on Oct 21, 2023 and the use of the new Act 5159 is optional until there.
Thus, from Oct 26th, 2022 to Oct 21st, 2023 charger manufacturers will be able to choose between the requirements approved by Act 3481/2019 (Old Act) or by the requirement approved by Act 5159/2022 (New Act).
The reasons why ANATEL decided to postpone the revoke of old act 3481 can be seen in Inform Letter nº 108/2022.
