TEC Registration which is an activity of the Telecommunication Engineering Centre in the Department of Telecommunications is one of the certifications that is needed to meet the standard of the telecom equipment. TEC Certification is required for the dealers in telecommunications equipment and for the import, manufacturing and sale of telecommunications equipment. The certification is provided by the Telecommunication Engineering Centre after the equipment has passed through the Indian TEC MTCTE, which stands for Mandatory Testing and Certification of Telecom Equipment.
Upon the completion of the TEC registration process, the applicant is provided with an online registration number for the TEC certificate. The TEC certification number is an identification number assigned to their telecom equipment. They may attach it to their products so that their consumers can be convinced that it is authentic. It is believed that this initiative would improve the safety, compatibility and reliability of telecom products in India.
