MEMORANDUM

Sub: Application for Equipment Type Approval - Guidelines

All equipments/devices which work in the de-licenced frequency bands, shall be type
approved and designed and constructed in such a manner that the bandwidth of emission, power
and other parameters shall conform to the limits specified various notifications in this regard.
2.
For out door applications, in case the top of Antenna is more than 5 metres beyond the
existing roof top, then clearance of this antenna site is required to be approved by the Standing
Advisory Committee on Frequency Allocations (SACFA), and clearance obtained accordingly.
For this, requisite application is to be submitted separately, using the on-line facility.
3.
The application for obtaining equipment type approval shall be made to the Wireless
Adviser to Govt. of India, 6th Floor, Sanchar Bhavan, New Delhi-110001 in the format available in
the website. .
4.
The application should be submitted along with a complete copy of Radio Test report (RF
test report) carried out on the product, from an accredited test laboratory, containing details of the
following.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.

Measurement of peak radiated power or eirp

Measurement of peak power spectral density.
Measurement of 6dB and 20dB. Bandwidth
Measurement of frequency range and details of channels
Measurement showing behaviour of edge channels.
Measurement of spurious/harmonic emissions (conducted and radiated ) in different
frequency bands .
g. Other details such as peak excursion, measurement uncertainty, test set up, details
of power settings facility etc.
h. Details of antenna systems compatible to be used with the device under test.
5.
The above tests are required to be supported by measurement details and relevant
spectrum plots indicating the details such as resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, frequency
span, sweep etc.,
6.
The Equipment Type Approval shall be granted only to an Indian agency and not in the
name of any foreign manufacturer. Hence it also essential to submit a certificate of authorization
from the manufacturer, authorizing the Indian agency/counter part to act on their behalf.
