37 additional telecom products included in "Simplified Certification Scheme" by TEC
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) through its Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) has added 37 new items to the Simplified Certification Scheme (SCS) with effect from 1st January 2024. This will facilitate business operations and cut the certification process from eight weeks to two weeks. Media gateways, IP security devices, IP terminals, optical fibre or cable, transmission terminal equipment, etc. are some examples of these items.
The total products under SCS have now gone up to 49 from 12.
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 with effect from 1st 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 percent, thereby further reducing the compliance burden.
Presently, there are 60 Telecom & Networking products which have been notified under the MTCTE regime.
