● Validity of ILAC test report extended to 5 years

● Enhanced mtcte market supervision measures

● The date of shipment of telecommunication equipment from foreign ports shall be regarded as the date of import

Now certified products must be marked with TEC mark and other detailed information, such as India, er number, model number, certificate number, certificate issuing date, certificate validity period, country of origin and country of manufacture.
