WPC Approval
Your trusted partner for wireless device approval — ensuring regulatory compliance, spectrum clearance, and market entry in India.
Overview
WPC Approval is a mandatory certification required for all devices that utilize wireless communication technologies, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, and other radio frequency (RF) equipment. Issued by the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) Wing of the Department of Telecommunications, this approval ensures that wireless devices comply with India's frequency allocation norms and radio regulations, preventing interference with licensed communication networks.
For most consumer electronics using unlicensed frequency bands, an Equipment Type Approval (ETA) is required. Bizmint provides end-to-end WPC services, from product evaluation and coordinating accredited RF testing to filing for ETA and obtaining necessary import licenses. We ensure your wireless products meet all technical standards for a seamless launch in the Indian market.
