Cordless Telephone Under M TCTE Certification in India: ER Testing & Compliance Guide
The Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment (MTCTE) scheme protects the safety of notified telecom products by mandating their testing and certification before sale, import, or deployment in the country, thereby ensuring consumer protection. A cordless telephone is one of the telecom products included in MTCTE Phase I, and certification will be required by the manufacturers and importers.
1 October 2019 saw the mandatory certification for cordless telephones take effect. Manufacturers, importers and brand owners need to make sure that the product meets the applicable Essential Requirements (ERs) specified by the Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) before introducing the product to the Indian market.
The latest TEC notification says that the Essential Requirements for cordless telephones under MTCTE Certification in India have come into effect from 1 July 2024. The ER notification is valid until 1 April 2050, possibly to be amended by the Department of Telecommunications.
UMSPCS offers full support for the MTCTE certification process, including assessment of product applicability, reviewing product documentation, coordinating testing with TEC-recognised testing laboratories, filing applications and certification assistance.
