I asked someone in India, the organization name escapes me, about cert requirements for Audio products about a year ago and was told there were no mandatory cert requirements for Safety or EMC...As Doug mentioned the individual directed me to the BIS website for a list of regulated products <http://www.bis.org.in/>
From: Doug Massey [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 4:26 PM To: 'Stone, Richard'; 'EMC PSTC' Subject: RE: India Compliance Hi Richard- To my knowledge, India has no compulsory requirements for EMI/EMC or product safety for information technology gear. India is a member of the CB Scheme. htt ://www.cbscheme.org/cbscheme/NCB/IN-BIS.htm A certification mark from the BIS should be available, if desired, by submitting a CB report and certificate to BIS; however, there are some pretty steep fees involved. There are certain electrical products that require compliance to Indian standards, and certification and marking by the BIS. Check the list at http://www.bis.org.in/cert/man.htm. Mostly household appliances and electrical stuff. In my experience, a product that carries other regulatory compliance marks, such as FCC, CE, UL, etc., is acceptable in India. If you've done your work for North America and the EU, you should be fine for India. Not sure about RF products and telco infrastructure gear. You may want to contact the Government of India, Telecommunication Engineering Center. Type approval for some types of equipment is required. http://wwwdel.vsnl.net.in/tec/ Hope this helped.

I just got my certificate yesterday. In the long run, I think it'll help, but we have to start somewhere. Hopefully, having this type of program will start a process to which people expect a certain level of knowledge on product safety. Something analogous to someone having a bachelors, masters or Ph.D. There is a certain level of knowledge that one expects when someone has these degrees. (It is only a general statement and I am sure there are plenty of knowledgeable people who do not have degrees, that a smarter than those who do.) Good luck to all those who apply.

Is this a certification that hiring managers recognize? Is it anticipated that managers and/or hiring speacilists will come to recognized this certification as significant? Also, is there any relationship between NARTE and the IECEE? Thanks much for advice and opinion.
