WPC / ETA for Wireless Products in India — Import FAQ

Teams that skip early scoping usually pay twice — once in failed lab weeks, and again in missed purchase-order windows.
Practical checklist
- Identify all radios (Wi-Fi, BT, cellular, proprietary)
- Collect modular approvals / RF test evidence where usable
- Align model names with ETA and CRS filings
- Check packaging RF statements

FAQ — Wireless / RF-bearing electronics
1. Does ETA replace BIS CRS?
No. ETA is spectrum/equipment type approval territory; BIS CRS is product safety registration when notified.
2. Do pure Bluetooth accessories need ETA?
Many RF products do — confirm current WPC rules for your device class.
3. Can I use FCC ID as ETA?
FCC grant is not an Indian ETA. Evidence may help engineering, not replace the Indian approval.
4. Certko support?
We help sequence BIS + WPC + testing so imports clear once.
Disclaimer: Scheme rules, Quality Control Orders, SABER lists and destination regulations change. Confirm the current notification and lab scope for your exact model before booking irreversible tests.
