The Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC)<\/strong> in India has announced amendments to the Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment (MTCTE) Procedure v3.0 (TEC 93009:2024)<\/strong>. These changes, which take immediate effect, refine the definitions and certification criteria for telecom equipment. Products in the telecommunications sector usually require TEC certification<\/a><\/strong> to be approved for import and sale in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

One key amendment updates Clause 2.1(iii)<\/strong> to define an “Associated Model”<\/strong> as a telecom equipment variant with identical software but different hardware configurations, such as chassis, motherboards, or access ports derived from an already tested and certified main model. Additionally, Clause 2.1(xiv)<\/strong> now states that a “Model”<\/strong> is identified by unique hardware or software versions. Any difference in these aspects results in a distinct model designation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further changes clarify that combinations of independent telecom equipment forming a system are not certified under MTCTE<\/strong>. Instead, each piece of equipment must be tested and certified separately.<\/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
