Brazil authority, ANATEL, released the Public Consultation No. 47 to update the Act 3481 for requirements and testing procedures for mobile phone chargers.

The main changes are:

1. Security seal: MINT label will be optional used in vehicular chargers installed inside the car panel. This may eliminate the need of MINT labels for the vehicular chargers. In addition, if manufacturers decide not to use the MINT label, they will need to include the ANATEL ID in the charger label (regular marking).

2. Vehicular chargers: ESD testing will be performed according to ISO 10605/2008 instead of IEC 61000-4-2 as previous.

3. ESD (ISO 10605) and Electrical transient (ISO 7637-2) testing applied exclusively for USB type vehicular charger installed in the car panel or other parts of the vehicle.
