Mandatory Testing & Certification Of Telecommunication Equipment (MTCTE)
Mandatory Testing & Certification Of Telecommunication Equipment (MTCTE)
No telecommunication equipment notified under MTCTE, shall be sold or deployed in any telecommunication network, or otherwise be used in India, unless it has a valid Certificate of Conformity Assessment.
Every person to which a notified standard applies, shall ensure that the details of such standard, including the Certificate of Conformity Assessment, is displayed in such manner as specified by the Appropriate Authority
Objectives of MTCTE
I. that any Telecom Equipment does not degrade performance of existing network to which it is connected; II. safety of the end–users; III. protection of users and general public by ensuring that radio frequency emissions from equipment do not exceed prescribed standards; IV. that telecom equipment complies with the relevant national and international regulatory standards and requirements.
The testing and certification envisaged in Amended MTCTE Procedure v3.0 (TEC 93009:2024) ensures that the equipment meets all TEC prescribed Essential Requirements. The quality and reliability of equipment is not part of this procedure, hence, the same is not guaranteed through this certification. OEMs / dealers themselves will be responsible for necessary quality and reliability criteria claimed by them. Any equipment to be used in the network of Licensed Telecom Service Providers/ Internet Service Providers/Virtual Network Operators etc. may have to undergo additional tests as specified in License.
