TEC Certification under MTCTE Scheme

If you are a telecom equipment manufacturer or importer, getting approval from TEC (Telecommunication Engineering Center) under the MTCTE scheme is mandatory before you can sell your products in India.

At Adept Compliance Solutions, we make the process of obtaining TEC Certification under MTCTE simple and quick. From identifying the correct product category to completing documentation and lab testing, our expert team ensures you’re fully compliant with the Government of India’s telecom equipment standards.


What is TEC Certification?

TEC (Telecommunication Engineering Center) is the technical wing of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India. It ensures that telecom equipment used in India complies with national technical and safety standards.

The Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecommunication Equipment (MTCTE) scheme requires that certain telecom and network equipment must undergo testing and certification before import, sale, or use in India.

  • Smart IoT devices with SIM/Wi-Fi

  • Media gateways, IP routers, repeaters

  • Mobile signal boosters

More products are added to the MTCTE list regularly. We stay updated so you don’t have to.

1. Product Categorization

Your product is tested at a TEC-designated CAB (Conformity Assessment Body) lab. We assist with coordination and logistics.

We compile and verify all required documents:

  • Technical specs and block diagram

  • Test reports

  • OEM details

  • Company KYC and IEC

  • Authorization for India representative (if foreign OEM)

We submit your MTCTE application on the official TEC portal and ensure it’s complete and accurate.

5. Certificate Grant

After successful review, TEC issues your Certificate of Conformity (CoC).


Types of MTCTE Certification
