India WPC Certification
Certification Introduction
India WPC (Wireless Planning & Coordination Wing) is an agency that controls wireless regulations in India. All wireless products must be approved by WPC before entering the market. There are two types of frequency bands in India: free and open. For free and open frequency bands, such devices only need to apply for an ETA (Equipment Type Approval) certificate; for other frequency bands that are not free and open, you need to apply for a license. Both the ETA and the license holder must be a locally registered company. Based on CE R & TTE or FCC ID (India local standard), 2G/3G/4G requires mobile operators to apply.
Basic Information of WPC Certification
• Compulsory certification
• No factory inspection required
• Sample testing required, or no sample required if CE RF report is available
• No local testing required
• Requires local representation
• The certificate is valid for a long time
Specifically, any wireless transmission less than 3000 Ghz that does not use human control is considered "wireless communication" as defined by the WPC. These frequency bands are within the scope of WPC control. That is, wireless transmissions (such as infrared) with frequencies above 3000 Ghz are not considered "wireless communications". WPC certification does not control these frequency bands. Since India has two types of frequency bands, free and unopened, for wireless communication products whose frequency bands and output power fall within the control range, it is necessary to apply for an ETA certificate from WPC. In addition, the holders of ETAs must be locally registered companies. In addition, WPC accepts RF report from CE report to WPC certification, no need to provide samples and tests.
All wireless devices that can work in the approved frequency bands, the following frequency bands are free:
1. 2.40 to 2.4835 GHz 2. 5.15 to 5.350 GHz
3. 5.725 to 5.825 GHz 4. 5.825 to 5.875 GHz
5. 402 to 405 MHz 6. 865 to 867 MHz
7. 26.957 – 27.283 MHz 8. 335 MHz for remote control of crane
9. 20 to 200 KHz 10. 13.56 MHz
11. 433 to 434 MHz
WPC Certification Requirements
The wireless certification of wireless products in India can be divided into two modes: ETA (Equipment Type of Approval) certification and License license. For free and open frequency bands such as 13.56MHz, 433MHz, 2.4GHz, 5.725-5.825GHz, etc., you need to apply for ETA certification; if the device uses other non-free and open frequency bands, such as GSM, WCDMA mobile phones, etc., you need to apply for a license.
For ETA certification, India recognizes European standards, and WPC signs the certificate by means of an audit report. For the License license, it needs to meet the standard requirements of India.
For ETA application, the product does not need to be sent to India for local testing, and the product can submit an application for accreditation to WPC with an R & TTE report.
Applicable Product Range
Equipment with radio transmitters. These include mobile (GSM or WCDMA) handsets, wireless local area network (WLAN) devices such as Wi-Fi devices, Bluetooth devices, Zigbee devices, WiMAX devices, RFID devices, contactless smart card readers, and in combination with some other RF transmitters device products. Also only receivers do not require a WPC certificate, such as GPS products.
Certification Category
• ETA (Equipment Type of Approval) certification: free and open frequency bands such as 13.56MHz, 433MHz, 2.4GHz, 5.725-5.825GHz, etc.;
• License: non-free and open frequency bands, such as GSM, WCDMA mobile phones;
• For ETA certification, India recognizes European standards, and WPC signs the certificate by means of an audit report. For the License license, it needs to meet the standard requirements of India;
• For ETA application, the product does not need to be sent to India for local testing, and the product can submit an application for approval to WPC with an R&TTE report.
