WPC - ETA Certificate for Smart Bulb | Process, Fees & Benefits
The Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing of the Ministry of Communications, Government of India, is required to issue the WPC ETA Certificate for Smart Wi-Fi Enabled Bulbs. With this certificate, smart bulbs that use Wi-Fi technology for wireless communication are guaranteed to abide by Indian laws regarding the use of unlicensed frequency bands, including 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.
Smart Wi-Fi bulbs are Internet of Things devices that can be operated remotely through automation systems, voice assistants, or smartphone apps. Features like scheduling, color changes, brightness adjustments, and energy monitoring are made possible by these bulbs' embedded wireless modules, which connect to home networks. Their wireless modules need to be certified because they emit radio frequencies (RF) to make sure they don't interfere with other devices or networks that have licenses.
Manufacturers or importers must make sure that the wireless module used in the bulb is either pre-approved by WPC or submit the RF Test Report from an accredited lab for evaluation in order to receive the ETA (Equipment Type Approval). After approval, the ETA certificate is given for the particular module rather than the entire product.
To import, market, or sell these bulbs in the Indian market, a WPC ETA certificate is required. Without it, the product might be confiscated or subject to penalties after customs clearance is refused.
