WPC approval, commonly known as Equipment Type Approval (ETA), is a critical certification process that ensures consumer protection and establishes a licensing framework for radio operations in India. WPC certification is managed by the Office of Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, which was established in 1952.
Headquartered in New Delhi, WPC operates through regional offices in Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Guwahati and provides national coordination and compliance. WPC ETA approval, regulated by the Wireless Planning and Coordination Wing (WPC) of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), is a national regulatory process for spectrum management and licensing for wireless users, the WPC Authority issues WPC ETA licenses for IT and electronic equipment. that meet wireless technology standards. Only WPC-approved wireless and Bluetooth products operating in unlicensed frequency bands and meeting safety standards may be sold in India.
The fundamental motive to get a WPC certificate to allocate and monitor the radio frequency spectrum while issuing the radio license. The issuance of license and monitoring radio frequency ensure that the products are safe and secure.
Although it is to be remembered that, if a product falls under the a frequency range of less than 2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz or 5.825 GHz to 5.827 GHz you are not required to get a WPC Certification.
For foreign manufacturers:
– Foreign manufacturers without a liaison office or branch in India must designate an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR).
– If a foreign manufacturer operates a liaison office or branch in India, that entity assumes the role of the AIR.
– To obtain an import license, foreign manufacturers must appoint an AIR, consistent with the one designated in the WPC ETA application.
For domestic manufacturers:
– Domestic manufacturers have the option to directly apply for WPC ETA licenses and import licenses without the requirement of nominating an AIR.
Here’s a general outline of the process, keeping in mind that specifics can vary based on the type of wireless equipment:
Initial Compliance Verification
The process of obtaining WPC ETA (Equipment Type Approval) Certification begins with the examination of the EN Standard and frequency range outlined in the RF-Test report of the product. If the frequency range aligns with the mandatory devices operating under the DE Licence, a self-declaration certificate is issued.
WPC Application Preparation
The applicant first prepares the necessary documents based on the verification of the frequency range from the RF-Test report, and then proceeds to fill out the WPC online Application on the Saral Sanchar portal to obtain login credentials.
Guidelines for Government Fees and WPC Document Submission
The applicant pays the government fees online through the portal and then submits all required documents, both online and offline, to the WPC authority for the specific type of license.
Approval
WPC officials conduct a thorough verification of the submitted documents and RF test report. If they are satisfied with the documentation and test results, the Equipment Type Approval Certificate (WPC certificate) is granted; otherwise, they may request additional documents or information for clarification.
