What is TEC Certification?

The Indian government's Department of Telecommunications (DoT) depends on the Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC). TEC's primary function is to assist in developing and implementing various guidelines and regulations that ensure the responsible and secure use of emerging technologies in the telecommunications industry.

Initially voluntary in 1991, TEC certification became mandatory in 2019 under the law No. 10-1/2017-IT/TEC/ER, which introduced the Mandatory Testing Certification of Telecommunication Equipment (MTCTE) law incrementally.

In India, TEC serves as the authority for certifying telecommunication equipment, following the stringent standards set by the MTCTE program.

There are three types of specifications for telecom equipment quality measures:

Generic Requirements (GRs)

Interface Requirements (IRs)

Service Requirements (SRs)

Note: The issuance of TEC Certification can take up to 30 days from the application date, depending on the product category, testing requirements, and other factors.

Here are some general items that require TEC Certification:-

Radio broadcast receivers

HF Radio

Mobile Radio trunking system

LAN Switch

Smart Camera

Soft Switch

Signaling gateway
