37 MORE PRODUCTS BROUGHT UNDER SIMPLIFIED CERTIFICATION SCHEME
The
technical arm Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) of Department of Telecommunications
(DoT), has brought 37 more products under Simplified
Certification scheme (SCS) w.e.f.
01 January 2024. This will reduce the time taken for certification from
eight weeks to two weeks and promote ease of doing
business. These products include media gateway, IP security
equipment, IP terminals, optical fibre or cable, transmission Terminal
Equipment, etc. The total products under SCS have now gone up to forty
nine from twelve.
Further, only administrative fee will be charged by the
TEC for Essential Requirement (ER) based applications submitted under MTCTE
irrespective of GCS and SCS category w.e.f. 01
January 2024.
The evaluation fee has been completely waived off. This
is a huge relief for the original equipment manufacturer (OEMs) or applicants
as it amounts to reduction in application fee by more than 80 per cent, thereby
further reducing the compliance burden.
Presently, there are sixty Telecom & Networking
products which have been notified under MTCTE regime.
