TEC Certification The TEC issues TEC certificates which cover the listed products. TEC Certification has been a voluntary process since 1991. However, as per announcement No. 10-1/2017-IT/TEC/ER, starting in 2019 the TEC will roll out the MTCTE (Mandatory Testing Certification of Telecommunication Equipment) regulations incrementally. Since 2019 many telecommunication products now require a mandatory product certification in India.[1]
Products under the TEC approval scheme will have to meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC/EMI) limits. The TEC registration process needs to be conducted by an Authorized Indian Representative. The product must be marked with an ID number (individual factory code), issued by the TEC.
The TEC certification allows a maximum of 10 models per TEC certificate.
International reports from ILAC-accredited test labs will only be accepted until March 31, 2020. After that all testing will be required to be done in India.[2]
