When processing type approval certification, we may notice that the standard applied in some countries are different from one country to another. This is because not all countries adopted the exact same international standard for their own use. Usually, they will adopt or take some norms from international standards, then tailor it according to their own specific needs. Therefore, the telecommunication standards in those countries are unique and specific, and adjusted to their national direction.
Due to the standard difference, applicant cannot fully use the test report obtained from international test lab for product approval in all countries. This is because not all international test laboratories can perform country-specific standard. They mostly perform the major and generally acknowledged international standard. Therefore, local test is a must.
The same case also happens in Brazil. When processing Brazil type approval, we may notice that this country adopts the unique approach by combining paperwork or document review and local test. Local testing performed by ANATEL-accredited laboratories (OCD-accredited Laboratory). To do these tests, commonly the applicant needs to provide samples. And this raised a question about how many samples are required and what types of samples is required for the testing.
Currently, the questions above don’t have the fixed answer. The reason is because sample requirement, including sample quantity and type, really depends on the results of lab’s analysis toward the submitted documents. Besides, these labs may have the different policy regarding sample requirements. Therefore, the detailed information regarding samples should be discussed on a case-by-case basis, as different products have different requirements.
