Besides sample, document is also important when processing type approval certificate. Document can be a determining factor especially for the application that’s processed through paperwork or document evaluation method. As we all now, the success of paperwork application is not only depending on the completeness of the document, but also the sufficiency of it. That’s why we also need to pay more attention regarding the required documents in the early stage of approval process.
Specifically for India type approval certification, the list of required document depends on the type of certification that we’d like to process. For example, if the product operates in free-license bands only, this needs WPC ETA certification. QPC ETA stands for Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing, Equipment Type Approval (ETA). Required documents for this type of certification process are:
- Business License & its English translation.
- ISO Quality Management (9001: 2015).
- Trademark Certificate.
- Technical Specification of the Product.
- User Manual of the Product.
- Contact Details as per Form A (Format Attached).
- GST /COI of the Indian Company.
- KYC of the Authorized signatory.
- Aadhar & PAN of the AIR”
Furthermore, if the product are telecommunication products which connects to public networks such as cellular, then this product needs TEC MTCTE certification. TEC MTCTE stands for Telecommunication Engineering Centre and Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment. And the list of required documents for this type of certification is:
- Testing Document- Test SOPs, Commands and SWs
- AIR company registration document
- MOU between AIR and Manufcturer
- User Manual

The list of required documents can be different depending on the case. Some applications may need additional documents in order for it to be accepted. So, it’s still strongly suggested to keep consulting with the expert if your application case is particular.
