Registration Process
The steps in the TEC Certification process are as follows:
Validity & Renewal
After the date of issuance, TEC Certification remains valid for 5 years. For a foreign OEM, however, the certificate is only valid for five years, or until the MOU or AIR letter expires, whichever comes first.
Online applications for renewal must be submitted at least one month before the existing certificate's validity period expires, together with the renewal fee.
If neither the ERs that apply to the equipment nor the model of the equipment change, the certificate must be updated.
A new certificate with a five-year validity period must be issued and must bear the old certificate number.
If the need arises to verify that the equipment complies with the ERs, TEC may request that re-testing or re-evaluation of certified telecom equipment be performed and charge the appropriate price.
As of now, There are following products which needs be registered with TEC and require TEC Registration to Manufacture/Import and sell the product in the INDIAN market.

Groups in TEC-
The time and complexity required to test the equipment or analyse test findings are divided into groups in TEC. The three groups that make up this equipment are Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D
Certification scheme in TEC-
The two different certification schemes for recognized telecom equipment are listed below:
If neither the ERs that apply to the equipment nor the model of the equipment change, the certificate must be updated.
A new certificate with a ten-year validity period must be issued and must bear the old certificate number.
If the need arises to verify that the equipment complies with the ERs, TEC may request that re-testing or re-evaluation of certified telecom equipment be performed and charge the appropriate price.
TEC labelling specifications include
Without further testing - The certificate must be modified without testing if changes or modifications made to the certified equipment do not affect compliance with authorized Essential Requirements. Such alterations include, for instance:
A new certificate reflecting the changes will be issued by TEC following the assessment of the application.
Using retests - The certified equipment will need to be recertified if any additional changes are made that have an impact on how well it complies with the essential requirements that have been authorized. The following are only a few examples of such adjustments.
A certificate modification is not always necessary when there has been a software change, such as a major revision, minor revision, patch, bug fix, or update unless the change has rendered the equipment incompatible with ERs with which it was previously compliant. If a certificate adjustment is required, the OEM is in charge of verifying the information and submitting the application.
Contraventions and NC - If TEC learns that equipment that has not been certified, equipment that has been certified but has been modified without authorization, or equipment whose certification has expired is being sold, used, or intended for sale, the equipment will need to undergo the mandatory certification within 128 days of the date of the notice of violation.
If certification for such a telegraph is not obtained within the required timeframe, TEC may order to seize and destroy all such equipment.
