Brazil Anatel Resolution 780/2025 on Telecom Product Homologation
Anatel’s new Resolution 780/2025 reshapes telecom compliance in Brazil. Marketplaces are now jointly liable for irregular sales, refurbished products face stricter requirements, and data centers must undergo conformity assessments. The update expands sanctions and applies the Consumer Protection Code, raising the stakes for manufacturers, importers, and digital platforms.
Brazil’s National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) issued Resolution No. 780/2025 on August 1, published August 4, amending the Regulation on Conformity Assessment and Homologation of Telecommunications Products (Resolution No. 715/2019). The update introduces new rules on marketplace liability, sanctions for non-compliance, refurbished products, and data center conformity—key changes that affect manufacturers, importers, and digital platforms.

Marketplaces and online platforms now share joint liability for the sale of irregular telecom products.
Even platforms that only publish or promote advertisements are responsible.
