The DoT (Department of Telecom) has removed five devices from its prior mandatory testing and certification list. The devices are Mobile user equipment/mobile handset, server, smart watch, smart camera and point of sale devices.
This step is to ensure that there is no duplication in terms of testing and certification of these five products as they are already covered under the list of the Ministry of Electronics and IT.
The Ministry of Electronics and IT introduced this mandatory testing rule in India to check the sale of spurious imports and low quality products in India.
''India's resolve to elevating ease of doing business is becoming stronger -- the exemption is a well considered decision balancing consumer interest and EODB (Ease of Doing Business).
''We should begin the journey towards deemed approvals and self certification in most regulations as the next major step,'' industry body ICEA Chairman Pankaj Mohindroo said.
