The Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL) in Brazil published Ato No. 8995 on June 27, 2022. It resolve that technical and operational requirements for the use of the band from 3700 MHz to 3800 MHz by low power terrestrial service station.
Official Document of ANATEL ACT 8995/2022
16-06-2022
On 8th of April 2022 The Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL) in Brazil had published the new Act 5159 .This new Act Applies to Wired and Wireless Power Supplies and chargers meant to be used with mobile phones. It includes the all the testing requirements for EMC and safety. This new act will become in force in 180 days (26th October 2022) replacing the previous Act 3481.
The scope of the Act applies to:
A/C portable chargers i.e., residential chargers
D/C portable chargers i.e., car chargers
AC/DC inductive chargers
Special-purpose USB interfaces (ports) for electrical power to electronic devices, without data transmission functionality, regardless of the type of electrical power supply.
Some important notes:
USB interfaces that integrate the electrical/electronic design of equipment (i.e., TV, computer, multimedia centre, etc.) are not covered by these requirements.
For vehicular chargers, the ESD tests must be applied in accordance with item 8.3 of ISO 10605/2008 (before it was referring to IEC 61000-4-2).
Electrostatic discharges must be applied at the following levels: 2 kV, 4 kV and 6 kV for contact discharges and 4 kV, 6 kV and 8 kV for air discharges.
For vehicular chargers, the surge and transient immunity testing must be performed in accordance with ISO 7637-2/2004.
For USB type built-in vehicular chargers, ANATEL will accept the ESD (ISO 10605/2008), surge and transients (ISO 7637-2/2004) testing report done in a 1st or 2nd part laboratory, accredited by ILAC or evaluated by OCD.
The use of Security seal (Mint label) will be optional for built-in vehicular chargers sold along with the vehicle. If the manufacturer chooses not to use the mint label, the device must have the ANATEL marking on its label, such as ANATEL ID: HHHHH-YY-FFFFF.
This means the removal of safety testing for vehicle built-in chargers and Voltage Dips/variation (ice 61000-4-11) Immunity Testing.

The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) Authorities Kingdom of Saudi Arabia issue new regulation for licensing of Telecommunication devices, CITC Enhance the security of the radiocommunication sector at the private level.
Recently, CITC of Saudi Arabia has amended “Regulations for licensing communications and information technology devices”. Amendments concerns regulations in the private sector. Thus, Regulation limiting the import of private wireless communications devices to its authorized agents and proscribes individuals to import and license wireless communications devices by themselves after the enforcement date of the Regulation on May 25, 2022.
The KSA authorities encourage suppliers of private wireless communication devices to apply for registration as accredited agents to have the opportunity to sell licensed devices for the private sector in the future.
CITC also informed that all necessary steps allowing registration suppliers as accredited agents have been prepared. The authority also gives detailed instructions on how to pass the registration.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) introduced an amended Circular regarding test reports and documents submitted by an applicant for obtaining a license/inclusion. The Circular concerns products that should be licensed through registration under the Scheme-II of the Schedule-II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulation 2018.
The following product categories changed:
Fixed general purpose LED luminaires.
Changes concern the quantity of total models in one series. The quantity of required models was reduced to 10 models in a single test report.
AC or DC Supplied Electronic Control gear for LED Modules.
Some clarifications were made regarding test reports acceptance. Thus, test reports of either AC supplied control gear or DC supplied control gear will be accepted at a clip. If there are some other varieties, they may be accepted in subsequent inclusions.
UPS/Invertors.
Some clarifications were made regarding test reports acceptance. Thus, test reports of either UPS or investors will be accepted at a clip.
Sealed secondary cells/batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes for use in portable applications.
Some corrections were made to this category that explains what product type can be accepted within one application
