As protection & safety of the end user or general public from the radio frequency emission of telecom equipments have become utmost importance , certification of these equipments is highly necessary. There is also a risk that an uncertified telecom equipment might degrade its performance of existing network to which it is connected resulting in poor efficiency and threat to business. The Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Rules, 2017, provides that every telecom equipment must undergo mandatory testing and certification prior to sale, import or use in India. This is regulated through a scheme calledMTCTE (Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment) .
MTCTE is designed to cover 55 types of telecom products along with associated variants. Testing is carried out to check conformance with essential requirements of the equipment, by labs designated by TEC. Certificates are issued by TEC based on the test reports.
The much-awaited notification of phase-III & IV under MTCTE has now been released which covers safety, EMC, RF, technical and are denoted as Essential Requirements (ER). TEC has at the same time announced that test reports from ILAC accredited labs (anywhere) are for Phase I and Phase II extended to 30 November this year, and for Phase III extended to 30 June next year.

There are two types of certification schemes:
1. GCS - Under this scheme, applicant shall be required to submit test wise compliance along with test reports, in respect of parameter included in ER, from any designated CAB or recognized CAB of MRA partner country. The test results shall be evaluated for compliance against respective ERs.
2. SCS - Under this scheme, applicant must submit a test wise compliance sheet, along with a self-declaration of conformity (SDoC), in respect of parameters included in ERs. All other rules/procedure applicable in case of GCS shall apply in case of SCS, except that the test reports are not required to be summited by applicant or evaluated by TEC. TEC, however, reserves the right to asks the applicant to submit copy of report in case it is required.
