India’s National Center for Communication Security (NCCS) has announced the introduction of Mandatory Security Certification (MSC) for the Session Management Function (SMF) within the 5G Core network. This requirement will take effect starting January 1, 2025. The SMF is a crucial component in 5G networks, managing user equipment (UE) connections, including IP address assignment, traffic control, data flow direction, charging support, and interaction with other network elements. Telecommunication products typically require TEC Certification<\/strong><\/a> to be approved for import and sale in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the MSC will be compulsory from 2025, the NCCS has launched a voluntary certification program for SMF components, allowing manufacturers and network operators to secure security certificates ahead of the mandatory deadline. This voluntary process will be available until December 31, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TEC certification<\/strong><\/a> has been mandatory since April 2019. Every year the Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC) expands the certification catalog and adds more telecom products. See the list of TEC standards<\/strong><\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in understanding what requirements are needed for your product to be imported into India, please do not hesitate to contact us by email or phone (Europe: +49-69-271 37 69 261, <\/strong>US: +1 773 654-2673<\/strong>)<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
