Summary of changes to the new IEC 62619 version,
IEC 62619,

▍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.

▍Why MCM?

● MCM possesses 10 years abundant experience and resources in testing and certification industry: high quality service system, deeply qualified technical team, quick and simple certification and testing solutions.

● MCM collaborates with multiple high-quality local officially recognized organizations providing various solutions, accurate and convenient service for clients.

IEC 62619: 2022 (the second version) released on 24 May 2022 will replace the first version published in 2017. IEC 62169 covers the safety requirements of secondary lithium ion cells and batteries for industrial use. It is generally considered to be a test standard for energy storage batteries. But in addition to energy storage batteries, IEC 62169 can also be used for lithium batteries used in uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), automatic transport vehicles (ATV), emergency power supplies and marine vehicles.
There are six major changes, but the most significant one is to add requirements for EMC.
EMC testing requirements have been added to a growing number of battery standards, especially for large power and energy storage systems, including standard UL 1973 released this year. In order to meet EMC testing requirements, manufacturers should optimize and improve circuit design and use of electronic components, and conduct preliminary verification on trial-produced products to ensure that EMC requirements are met.
According to the application procedure of new standard, CBTL or NCB should update their qualification and ability range first, which is expected to be completed within 1 month. The second is the need to edit a new version of the report template, which generally needs 1-3 months. After these two processes are completed, the new test standard and certification can be used.
Manufacturers do not have to rush to use the new IEC 62619 standard. After all, it takes a long time for regions and countries to abolish the old version of the standard, while generally the fastest time is basically 6-12 months.
It is recommended that manufacturers apply for certificates with the new version in the testing & certification of new products, and consider whether to update the product report & certificate of the old version according to the actual use situation.
