Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Approval in India

Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Approval is an important regulatory condition to import and sell wireless goods in India. It is issued by the WPC Wing of the Ministry of Communications, Government of India, to ensure that wireless equipment fulfills the criteria of spectrum resource allocation and technical standards in India. Equipment Type Approval (ETA) is essential for any product that transmits electromagnetic signals on a license-free band.

What is WPC-ETA Certification?

WPC-ETA Certification is applicable to all wireless and Bluetooth-enabled products, excluding those already having an Indian Standard or specification under the license-free category. It covers a wide range of products such as Wi-Fi routers, mobile phones, wireless keyboards and mice, RFID devices, drones, smartwatches, and other devices operating on radio frequencies like Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRa, and Wi-Fi.

ETA Certification ensures that these devices do not interfere with other telecom networks and operate strictly within the frequency limits permitted in India. Without WPC approval, it is illegal for importers or manufacturers to sell or distribute such products in the Indian market.

Who Requires WPC-ETA Certification?

WPC-ETA Certification is essential for both domestic manufacturers and foreign brands looking to sell wireless products in India. Even Indian startups that import wireless modules for use in IoT devices must secure ETA before beginning development or commercialization.

WPC Approval in India is crucial for:

Importers: Companies bringing wireless-enabled products into India.

Manufacturers: Firms producing devices that operate on wireless or radio frequencies.

Distributors and Retailers: Entities selling or distributing wireless products within India.

OEMs and ODMs: Original Equipment Manufacturers and Designers using wireless modules in final products.

WPC-ETA Certification Process

The process of obtaining WPC-ETA Certification in India involves several structured steps:

Product Testing: The product is tested at an NABL-accredited laboratory in India to ensure it functions within the permitted frequency spectrum.

Application Submission: A detailed application is submitted to WPC, including the test report, technical specifications, and required documents.

WPC Evaluation: The WPC authority evaluates the documents to verify compliance.

Grant of ETA Certificate: Once approved, an official Equipment Type Approval Certificate is issued.

For pre-approved wireless modules, importers can also opt for a simplified Self-Declaration ETA route.

Documents Required for WPC-ETA Certification
