MANDATORY TESTING & CERTIFICATION OF TELECOM EQUIPMENT (MT&CTE) CERTIFICATION MANDATORY FROM 1.10.18. PROCESSES TO BE IN PLACE BY 1.4.18. 1
SALIENT FEATURES Certification mandatory from 1.10.2018, of ALL telecom equipment, prior to sale/ import/ use. Exemptions for R&D/ Demonstration/ sample for testing, personally accompanied on inward foreign travel, for personal use, for limited numbers Certification once for one model, applicable for any quantity, valid for 5 years. Test reports from Indian designated Labs of TEC or from accredited labs of MRA partner countries. ALL 2
SALIENT FEATURES Series/ Family: In case of chassis based equipments tested and certified for maximum configuration, model numbers of up to 10 models having BoM subset of certified model BoM shall be called Associated Models and shall be included in certificate. Equipments are tested and certified as they are manufactured/ imported, and not as they are used/ configured at site. 3
SALIENT FEATURES Development of a web portal enabling end-to-end online processing. Essential Requirements are being prepared by TEC divisions covering EMI/ EMC, Safety, Technical requirements, Other requirements (SAR, IPV6 etc). Security requirements will be appended in ERs as and when these are received from DoT. Help desk to start functioning from the date of starting portal. 4
MTCTE DOES NOT COVER Modules/ Spares/ Components/ SKD/ CKD. Test Instruments. R&D/ Personally accompanied products in defined limited quantity/ Hobby Assembling Passive Telecom Components e.g. Tower, Antenna, Waveguide, smart cards. Integrated systems and networks consisting of more than one telecom equipment. Power supply/ UPS/ Solar equipments/ Batteries/ 5
PRESENTLY EXCLUDED FROM MTCTE IoT sensors* and inter-sectoral devices* with propriety communication interfaces only. Primarily non-telecom electrical and electronic products* with WiFi/ NFC/ BT etc. Set Top Box (presently under CRS) Multi-functional devices* with WiFi/ Ethernet ports primarily meant for trans-receiving images. Equipments with communication specifically covered by mandatory scheme of any other Government agency. * Provided these are connectable to Indian Telecom Network through gateway module 6

DEVELOPMENTS MEITY has been requested to remove Mobile Handsets and POS Terminals from equipments covered under CRS. ETA requirement for radio equipments shall be submitted through MTCTE portal. Products within purview of WPC but outside MTCTE shall be handled by WPC separately (e.g. WiFi modules, Amateur Radio) Formation of NABT on cards. Industry feedback requested. 11
FAQ..1 Issue Issue Brand owner instead of OEM as applicant Clear definition of Telegraph. Any other item not listed in Table-I, II Equipments connected to TSPs network or any network Family/ Series definition instead of testing each model separately Test results from foreign labs/ manufacturers lab Accept self certification/ OEM s test results Validity of old reports > 6 months Need inputs to increase to 1 year Clarification Clarification Can be agreed. Need inputs All telecom equipments. Areas of ambiguity explicitly defined. End use is not known. All equipments Agreed. Associated models defined. As relaxation, test results from accredited labs accepted till 3/19 It is against spirit of MTCTE. Not agreed 12
FAQ..2 Issue Issue What is test-wise compliance sheet Clarification Clarification After selection of product details on portal, ER parameters will be displayed. Applicant has to indicate compliance against each ER parameter To be uploaded on portal No testing required. MTCTE certificate valid for remaining time One year because testing needed against duly identified standards Past reports already accepted will remain valid. No retesting if no modification Documents requirements Certification of equipments already having TAC/ IAC Validity of provisional certificate Validity of past reports in case of incremental testing Renewal without retesting 13
FAQ..3 Issue Issue Publicity for end user to buy certified equipment Site inspection and confidentiality issues Equipments whose certification expired Clarification Clarification Publicity will be done. Industry cooperation also needed Site inspection shall be carried out within framework of law Equipments once certified and installed/ sold/ used don t need recertification. Continued production/ import of same model needs renewal of certificate Appellate officer shall be notified Appeals Issues related to QR code, contents of label, labelling methodology, e-label Open to suggestions. Need inputs 14
FAQ..4 Issue Issue Spares included in once certificate used in other model Exemption of highly specialized equipments Security requirement of server without OS/ app Module level testing Custom s verification process Clarification Clarification Spares neither need certification nor any restriction on their usage These could be R&D, demo or pilot project equipment. Open to suggestions Security wing of DoT will prescribe security requirements No only finished products Customs shall have access to certification data of MTCTE portal. Will verify based upon model number and equipment description TEC data will be real time updated data Updation of label on certificate renewal 15
FAQ..5 Issue Issue If no TEC designated Lab as on 31.3.19 Clarification Clarification Only those parameters need to be carefully chosen for ERs which can hopefully be tested in Indian Labs by 31.3.19. Review of ER and Lab availability will continue Provisional ER will be given in 7 days No. Centralized online application. If opted for testing at RTEC, go to concerned RTEC After finalization of ERs, SCS/GCS and fee group, it will appear more rational Security wing of DoT also holding consultations. Please join them Consultations-April 17. Notification- September 17. implementation-October 18 ER does not exist Restricted to apply to particular RTEC? TEC evaluation fee appears very high No clarity on security requirement Insufficient transition time 16
FAQ..6 Issue Issue Much broader products covered in ERs Duplication with BIS Clarification Clarification Some products will be deleted. This was possible only after discussion in MATCOF Mobile phones (includes Tablets with SIM) and POS terminals to be removed from CRS No module testing under MTCTE. WPC process to continue for these. Initially it is open to have more CABs. With time, CABs will add more capabilities No cap, but market regulation by having RTEC labs. Feedback received for opening of more RTECs. Process shall be initiated. Duplication with WPC for modules Define minimum test scope for CABs Price Cap and TAT for CABs Regional TEC offices required 17
FAQ..7 Issue Issue Need more time Clarification Clarification We all wish the same. Let us focus on the job in hand Servers tested for EMI/ EMC/ Safety. Software tested for Technical, security Product is tested as a whole including WiFi/ GSM related parameters Please raise demand in appropriate forum outside MTCTE The present amount is not high for 5 years certification Certification of Software-only products on COTS servers Accept test reports of WiFi, GSM chips Exempt indigenous manufacturers from Fee Nominal recertification fee 18
APPLICATION PROCESS FLOW1 Applicant Registers/ Logins.
