TEC or Telecommunication Engineering Centre is responsible for watching over the production, and export of telecommunication equipment.

What is TEC Certification?

As we have said earlier, if you want to sell telecom products, you need the approval from Telecommunication Engineering Center. It comes in the form of TEC Certification. To get the approval or TEC certificate, your equipment has to go through testing under the  MTCTE or Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment Scheme.

What is the process to acquire TEC Certification?

To get the TEC certification, follow these conventional steps:

4. Filing the application: Once your registration is approved, you’ll be given login access. From that point, you file the online CSC TEC registration application.
5. Assessment of the application: Once you forward the application, the assessment body takes over and processes it thoroughly. It would take around one or two weeks to process your application and send you the notification about it.
