Today-connected world, indeed, keeps the promise of wireless devices. Today manufactured devices include laptops, smartphones, portable WiFi hotspots, WiFi extenders, and smart home appliances. However, with this pressing usage, there is a huge demand for safety and performance requirements.
However, there is an urgent demand for safety and performance criteria as a result of this demanding usage. This is where the DPL/NDPL certification is useful, protecting consumers and ensuring the reliable performance of these crucial technologies.
Dealers Possession License/Non-Dealers Possession License is referred to as DPL/NDPL. In India, dealers that sell, distribute, and own wireless equipment are required to have this license. The Indian Wireless Telegraphy Act acts as the basis for these licenses. The certification guarantees that dealers understand and are capable of managing the rules regarding wireless products.
A dealer who holds a dealer possession license has permission to sell, own, and keep specific regulated products. Usually, regulations ensuring accurate reporting, documentation, and legal compliance apply to these licenses. Those who sell or own wireless products are referred to as DPL License holders, also called Dealer Possession License holders. These companies are involved in the selling and distribution of wireless equipment. It is against the telecom regulations for DPL license holders to offer their goods or products to any individual or entity that does not have a WPC clearance to use them.
These are NDPLs that permit the possession of specific regulated items as long as the conditions are met and the rules governing their ownership and use are observed to. Entities that are neither dealers nor owners of wireless devices are eligible to apply for an NDPL license, also known as a non-dealer possession license.
The scope of DPL/NDPL certification covers a wide range of wireless products, including, but not limited to:
Equipment Type Approval (ETA) and DPL/NDPL are frequently referenced together with the WPC license (Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing). WPC licenses are given to manufacturers and importers, while DPL/NDPL licenses are given to dealers. A WPC license certifies that the wireless products comply with the technical requirements and frequency distribution set forward by the WPC Wing of the Indian government’s Department of Telecommunications. In an ideal world, you need a WPC license in order to obtain DPL/NDPL.
Now that you daily have a WiFi extender because of which you don’t always skip the house very much, what would you need for your home? Buy one that gives a reliable signal. Unfortunately, if the respective manufacturer does not have the WPC license and if the dealer does not have a DPL/NDPL certification, one might end up with an under-performer, interference Creator, or unsafe device. Compliance with such regulations helps ensure a better experience for the consumer, in all.
These are the documents needed for a DPL license or NDPL license:
