In India’s rapidly evolving wireless technology landscape, obtaining the Wireless Planning and Coordination Equipment Type Approval (WPC-ETA) is essential for manufacturers and importers of devices operating in de-licensed frequency bands. Induce India offers comprehensive consultancy services to streamline this certification process, ensuring your products meet regulatory standards efficiently.
Understanding WPC-ETA Certification
WPC-ETA certification, mandated by the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) wing of the Ministry of Communications, is required for wireless devices such as Bluetooth gadgets, Wi-Fi equipment, RFID devices, and more. This approval ensures that devices operate within specified frequency ranges without causing harmful interference, thereby maintaining the integrity of the wireless communication environment in India.
Eligibility and Application Process
Both domestic manufacturers and foreign entities intending to market wireless devices in India must secure WPC-ETA certification. Foreign manufacturers are required to appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) to facilitate the application process. The certification process involves:
-
Product Testing: Conducting Radio Frequency (RF) testing in an accredited laboratory to ensure compliance with Indian standards.
-
Documentation: Preparing necessary documents, including technical specifications, test reports, company registration details, and authorization letters.
-
Application Submission: Filing the application through the Saral Sanchar portal, accompanied by a fee of ₹10,000 per model.
-
Approval: Upon satisfactory review, the WPC issues the ETA certificate, which remains valid for the product’s lifetime unless significant modifications are made.
Benefits of WPC-ETA Certification
-
Regulatory Compliance: Ensures adherence to Indian wireless communication regulations, avoiding legal complications.
-
Market Access: Facilitates smooth entry into the Indian market, preventing customs delays and potential penalties.

Consumer Trust: Demonstrates commitment to quality and safety, enhancing brand reputation among consumers.
