Top 7 Cloud Migration Mistakes to Avoid in 2025
With the rise of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and IoT-enabled devices, WPC ETA Certification has become one of the most important regulatory steps for tech brands entering the Indian market.
Whether you’re importing, manufacturing, or selling wireless gadgets, this guide explains everything you need to know about WPC (Wireless Planning & Coordination) approval.
What is WPC ETA?
WPC (Wireless Planning and Coordination) is a department under the Ministry of Communications, Government of India. If your product uses RF technology (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, etc.) in license-free frequency bands, you must get ETA (Equipment Type Approval).
Why is WPC Certification Mandatory?
-
✅ Required for Import & Customs Clearance
-
✅ Needed to List on Online Platforms
-
✅ Avoid Product Seizure or Border Delays
-
✅ Assures Legal RF Usage
Which Products Need WPC ETA?
-
Wireless headphones and earbuds
-
Wi-Fi routers and adapters
-
Bluetooth speakers and smartwatches
-
RFID-based sensors
-
Zigbee, LoRa, or IoT controllers
Even a small RF module inside your product requires ETA approval.
What’s the Process?
-
RF Testing – Conducted by a NABL-accredited lab
-
Documentation – Product specs, datasheets, company IEC/GST
-
Filing on WPC Portal – Through Authorized Indian Representative
-
Approval Issued – Usually in 7–15 working days
For licensed bands (like GSM modules), you need an Import License in addition.
