What is TEC Certification?
TEC Certification is a conformity assessment and certification process administered under the applicable regulatory framework of the Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC), Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India. Under the Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment (MTCTE) framework, notified telecom equipment must meet the applicable Essential Requirements before it can be sold, deployed in a telecommunication network or otherwise used in India, subject to the applicable rules and exemptions.
TEC MTCTE certification helps establish that covered telecom and networking equipment complies with the applicable technical, safety, performance, interoperability and security requirements. The exact testing and certification requirements depend on the equipment category, applicable Essential Requirements, notified phase and relevant regulatory provisions.
Eminence Global Compliance Group provides end to end TEC certification consultancy in India, helping businesses assess MTCTE applicability, prepare documentation, coordinate applicable testing, submit applications and follow up on certification-related queries. We support domestic manufacturers and eligible foreign manufacturers seeking to introduce telecom and ICT equipment into the Indian market.
