Through the Act #50514, ANATEL decided to approve a procedure which allows manufacturers to request a temporary restriction of the disclosure of external photos, handbook and ANATEL stamp, in the certification and homologation management system (SGCH). The request could be done for a 90 day-period and could be extended for another 30 days. After that time, the information has to be public, following the information access law.
The request process includes an OCD Technical Conformity Certificate (CCT) with a validity term for the same time of the restriction. In case of a time extension, the OCD has to issue a new CCT. The request has to be included in the SGCH system with the name of the applicant, the requested period, the justification and the name and signature of the company representative. The procedure specifications are available on the ANATEL website.
