To commercialize electronic or measuring devices in Brazil, compliance with Anatel and Inmetro regulations is mandatory. Sobel offers complete regulatory and technical support for Anatal and Inmetro certification Brazil, combining efficiency, transparency, and compliance with national standards.
From the initial evaluation to the final certification, Sobel supports your Inmetro and Anatel approval processes with accuracy and transparency.
Both Inmetro and Anatel certifications are mandatory to ensure product safety, reliability, and legal commercialization in Brazil.
Navigating Inmetro or Anatel certification requirements can be complex, involving multiple authorities, documents, and test procedures.
Failure to obtain these certifications may result in customs barriers, product recalls, or legal penalties.
Each certification pathway has specific technical and documentation requirements that must be met before importation, manufacturing, or commercialization.
The Certification Support service is available in three modalities, depending on your product’s regulatory pathway: Inmetro, Anatel or both certifications combined.
Required for regulated measuring instruments that need Model Certification with DIMEL. We handle the technical assessment, dossier preparation, and follow-up with Inmetro until the certificate is issued, for full compliance with Brazil Inmetro certification requirements.
Applies to telecommunication and electronic devices subject to Anatel certification requirements. Our team prepares the technical dossier, coordinates with the OCD, and follows up with Anatel until the approval is complete.
Some products (like smart meters and IoT systems) require both certifications. Sobel manages the processes in parallel, optimizing timelines, documentation, and communication with each authority.
If you’re unsure which certification applies, Sobel provides initial guidance to map the right route and ensure full compliance.
With the right certification strategy, you gain a faster, safer, and compliant entry into the Brazilian market. Complement your certification process with:
We act as your official representative, managing vigilance and ongoing regulatory support.
Notification, registration, and updates under RDC 978/2025 and RDC 658/2022.
Reliable, cost-effective biological evaluation documents aligned with ISO 10993 and Anvisa requirements.
Whether your device needs Inmetro certification Brazil, Anatel certification, or both, Sobel’s team ensures a smooth, compliant process from start to finish. With deep technical knowledge, transparent communication, and end-to-end regulatory support, we help you bring your product to the Brazilian market efficiently and confidently.
1. What is Inmetro certification in Brazil?
Inmetro certification confirms that a product meets the technical and safety requirements established by the National Institute of Metrology, Quality, and Technology (INMETRO). It is mandatory for certain measuring instruments and equipment before importation, manufacturing, or commercialization in Brazil.
2. What is Anatel certification in Brazil?
Anatel certification applies to telecommunications, wireless, and electronic devices. It ensures compliance with the Anatel certification requirements related to performance, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility, allowing legal commercialization in Brazil.
3. How do I know if my product needs Inmetro or Anatel certification?
The applicable certification depends on your product’s functionality and intended use. Sobel’s regulatory experts can assess your device and identify whether it requires Inmetro, Anatel, or both certifications, helping you define the correct pathway from the start.
4. Who issues the certificates in Brazil?
For Inmetro certification, the approval is granted by DIMEL (Legal Metrology Directorate of Inmetro). For Anatel certification, the process is conducted through an OCD (Designated Certification Body) authorized by Anatel. Sobel coordinates communication with both authorities to ensure a smooth and compliant process.
5. Can I apply for both certifications at the same time?
Yes. Some devices — such as smart meters, IoT systems, or connected measuring instruments — require both Anatel and Inmetro certification Brazil. Sobel manages the processes in parallel, optimizing documentation and timelines.
6. Does Sobel perform laboratory testing or translations?
No. Testing, certified translations, and government fees are outside the scope of this service. However, Sobel can recommend accredited laboratories and guide you through testing requirements when applicable.
7. How long does the certification process take?
The timeline varies significantly depending on the product type, testing requirements, and regulatory body involved. For Anatel certification, typical processing time can be around 6 – 10 weeks, assuming all documentation and testing are straightforward. For Inmetro certification, especially when factory audits or extensive testing are required, planning for several months (e.g., 4 – 6 months or more) is advisable. At Sobel, we provide a tracking system that lets you monitor each step of your certification process in real time, giving you full visibility and control.
