The Telecom Engineering Center (TEC) announces a paradigm shift in its certification procedures, accepting only online applications for testing and certifying telecom products under its Voluntary Certification scheme, effective from January 1, 2024.
The Online Voluntary Certification modules for Certificate of Approval (CoA) and Technology Approval, pivotal components of TEC’s certification framework, were officially launched by Member (S), DOT on December 28, 2023. This digital leap follows the successful implementation of online modules for Type/Interface approval, which became operational on July 7, 2023.
With this monumental transition, all categories of certificates issued under the Voluntary Testing and Certification scheme—including Type Approval Certificate, Interface Approval Certificate, Certificate of Approval (CoA), and Technology Approval Certificate—are now accessible for application and processing through TEC’s dedicated online platform.
As of January 1, 2024, stakeholders are urged to note that TEC will exclusively entertain online applications for all voluntary certification cases, covering Type/Interface approval, Certificate of Approval (CoA), and Technology Approval. This directive, approved by the Competent Authority, marks a strategic move towards a more streamlined and efficient certification process.
This digital evolution not only aligns TEC with contemporary industry standards but also underscores a commitment to fostering accessibility and efficiency within the telecom certification landscape. Stakeholders are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the user-friendly online application system for a seamless certification experience.
