types

types of TEC Approval

  • Type Approval: Type approval means a process of evaluation and certification of a telecom product against TEC’s TSTP to establish its conformance to the relevant product standards commonly referred to as the product’s Generic Requirement (GR). On-site testing at the OEM facility or lab testing is allowed. Reports from ILAC signatory-accredited laboratories for EMC, Safety, and Environmental Testing are also accepted.
  • Interface Approval: Interface approval is the process by which a telecom product is tested and certified against TEC’s Test Schedule & Test Procedure to establish conformance to the relevant interface standards, the so-called Interface Requirement of the product. On-site or Lab testing can be done either at OEM’s premises or in the Lab environment. Reports from ILAC signatory-accredited labs also are accepted, including EMC, Safety, and Environmental Testing. This may be mandated by the licensing authorities, government agencies, or service providers at Interface Approval.
  • Certification of approval: this is granted for the telecom products against the criteria of the manufacturer during those cases when TEC Approval does not have specific Generic or Interface Requirements for the product. On-site testing at the OEM facility or in a lab is conducted. Also, reports of ILAC signatory-accredited labs covering EMC, Safety, and Environmental Testing are accepted.
  • Approval of Technology: The Technology TEC Approval confirms the testing and certification of a prototype telecom product, developed by C-DoT or other R&D organizations. Accordingly, the said standard earlier identified as Generic Requirement-GR is provided by TEC. Testing will be done either at the OEM’s facility or in a lab environment. Reports from ILAC signatory accredited labs EMC, Safety, and Environmental Testing will also be accepted.

Benefits of TEC Approval

  • Market Access: TEC approval acts as a gateway to access the Indian telecommunication market. Without this, it would not be lawful to sell or market products in India.
  • Trust and Reliability: With TEC Approval, the products will be considered reliable and hence trustworthy by consumers and business associates, and thus market credibility will be achieved.
  • Conformity and Standards: The TEC Approval Procedure helps in confirming that telecommunication equipment guarantees presented standards to ensure network quality and safety as a whole.
