Service Overview

What is STQC Certification?

STQC certification refers to certification and quality assurance services associated with the Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) Directorate under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. STQC provides testing, inspection, certification and quality assurance services for applicable IT products, electronic systems, software applications and other technology-related solutions. Depending on the product, service or procurement requirement, organisations may need to demonstrate compliance with specified technical, functional, security, reliability or quality criteria.

STQC testing and certification requirements vary according to the applicable scheme, product category, technical specification, government procurement conditions and intended use. Not every IT or electronic product requires STQC certification. Organisations should identify the applicable requirements before initiating testing or certification.

Eminence Global Compliance Group provides end to end professional consultancy and coordination support to help businesses understand STQC requirements, assess documentation readiness, identify the relevant testing or certification route and coordinate with the department for applicable compliance process.
