▍What is ANATEL Homologation?

ANATEL is a short for Agencia Nacional de Telecomunicacoes which is Brazil governmental authority to certified communication products for both compulsory and voluntary certification. Its approval and compliance procedures are the same both for Brazil domestic and abroad products. If products are applicable to compulsory certification, the testing result and report must be in line with the specified rules and regulations as requested by ANATEL. Product certificate shall be granted by ANATEL first before product is circulated in marketing and put into practical application.

▍Who is liable for ANATEL Homologation? 

The Brazil governmental standard organizations, other recognized certification bodies and testing labs are ANATEL certification authority for analyzing the production system of manufacturing unit, such as product design process, procurement, manufacturing process, after service and so on to verify the physical product to be complied with Brazil standard. Manufacturer shall provide documents and samples for testing and assessment.

Recently Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC) released standard AIS-156 and AIS-038 (Rev.02) Amendment 3. The test objects of AIS-156 and AIS-038 are REESS (Rechargeable Energy Storage System) for automobiles, and the new edition adds that the cells used in REESS should pass tests of IS 16893 Part 2 and Part 3, and at least 1 charge-discharge cycle data should be provided. The following is a brief introduction to the test requirements of IS 16893 Part 2 and Part 3.
IS 16893 is apply to the secondary lithium-ion cell used in electrically propelled road vehicles propulsion. Part 2 is about the test of reliability and abuse. It is consistent with IEC 62660-2: 2010 “Secondary lithium-ion cells used in electrically propelled road vehicles propulsion – Part 2: test of reliability and abuse” published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The test items are: capacity check, vibration, mechanical shock, crush, high-temperature endurance, temperature cycling, external short-circuit, overcharging and forced discharging. Among them are the following key test items:IS 16893 Part 3 is about safety requirements. It is consistent with IEC 62660-3: 2016 “Secondary lithium-ion cells used in electrically propelled road vehicles propulsion – Part 3: safety requirements”. The test items are: capacity check, vibration, mechanical shock, crush, high-temperature endurance, temperature cycling, overcharging, forced discharging and forced internal short-circuit. The following items are important.
