Essential Requirements (ER): Refer to the Necessary Requirements for the G3 Fax Machine MTCTE Certification
The G3 Fax Machine was covered by the Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment (MTCTE) scheme under the aegis of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India. All Fax Machines (G3) manufactured in India and imported and sold in India are required to comply with the notified essential requirements (ER) prescribed under ES No. TEC13292407.
These requirements will be in effect from 1st July 2024 and will cover the standalone G3 fax machines.
Essential Requirements for G3 Fax Machine
The notified ER contains two product variants
- Support of fax machines (G3) and handsets via HTTP/HTTPS.
- G3 Fax Machine w/o Handset
For the G3 Fax Machine MTCTE certification, each variant has to be tested on the relevant technical criteria. The certification guarantees safety, performance, and network standards of the equipment in India.
Key Technical Parameters G3 Fax Machine
- Acoustic shock absorption (For handset models)
- Conducted and radiated emissions (EMC)
- Electrostatic Discharge Immunity (ESD)
- Tolerant of voltage fluctuations, surges, and electrical fast transients.
- The ability to withstand both radiated and conducted RF interference.
- Requirements for safe operation of IT equipment.
- Over-voltage and overcurrent protection.
- Fax receiver sensitivity
- Fax transmit power
The 2-wire interface also undergoes several tests to ensure network compatibility, including idle state current, insulation testing, longitudinal conversion loss, maximum loop current, and return loss.
