In September, ANATEL held a meeting with all OCDs (OCD = Organismos de Certificação Designados = Designated Certification Bodies)
and informed that certificates suspended for more than 6 months can no longer be renewed by the OCDs.
Instead, new approvals (including tests) are needed and resulting in a change of the ANATEL ID.
From now on, it is only allowed by ANATEL to renew certificates before their expiry date.
The restriction for renewal is specified in ANATEL’s Resolution 715 published in 2019.
For ongoing renewal applications that OCDs have already contracted with, ANATEL is currently evaluating whether to accept their renewals.
