What is WPC ETA Approval?

WPC ETA Wireless Certification
Wireless RF Approval & Saral Sanchar Filing DoT & WPC Wing

The Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is the national radio regulatory authority in India. Any product that emits radio frequency (RF), operates on wireless protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, RFID, Zigbee), and functions in de-licensed frequency bands requires an official Equipment Type Approval (ETA).

Importers and manufacturers cannot clear wireless consignments through Indian Customs without submitting a valid WPC ETA Certificate and obtaining a WPC Import License via the official Saral Sanchar portal.

Fast-Track ETA-SD

Under ETA Self-Declaration (ETA-SD), approvals can be generated within 24 to 48 hours if an ILAC-accredited RF test report is available.
