Equipment Type Approval (ETA)

Introduction:

         All products operating in de-licensed band of frequency need ETA. Ex.: Bluetooth operating in 2.4GHz band, WiFi operating in 2.4GHz or 5GHz band.

Wireless Planning Commission (WPC) functions under Department of Telecommunications (DoT). WPC mandates certification for wireless devices to be marketed in India (Applicable for both imported and local). The customer, who wishes to obtain WPC for devices with radio, needs to provide the following:

l  Either FCC or ETSI test report for product with radio which shows the radio test results;

l  User Manual in English;

l  Undertaking;

l  Completed Application Form (We can help complete the same based on the test report, user manual and technical information);

l  Agreement – Foreign Company Letterhead (React and Manufacture both has to sign).

Once the certificate is issued, the local importer also needs to apply for obtaining an import license. The process of obtaining the WPC certification will be anywhere between 1 week to 1 month.
