New Regulations for TEC Marking
29. June 2023The Ministry of Telecommunications and Electronics (MoTE) in India has announced a new notice on the labeling of products under TEC certification. The updated guidelines designed to ensure consumer safety and compliance with quality standards, were released on May 22, 2023. The initiative is an important step in the Indian government’s ongoing efforts to protect consumers and promote responsible manufacturing practices in the telecommunications industry.
The notification requires manufacturers and importers to include essential information on product packaging, including the Indian Standard Mark, which indicates compliance with quality standards.
In addition, a period of 6 months was introduced during which the products must be marked in accordance with the regulations. This period starts from the date of issuance of the certificate.
Under the Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Rules of 2017, there is a mandatory certification and testing requirement for telecom products in India. TEC certification must be completed before import into India. In this process, the products must comply with the regulations called “Essential Requirements” (ER). Imported products must also be tested in accredited test laboratories in India.
