Certification Introduction

Telecommunications terminal equipment that wants to access the public telecommunications network needs to apply for a network access license. The application for "Network Access License" for communication products is commonly known as "CTA" in the industry. According to the current laws and regulations of our country, the state implements a network access licensing system for telecommunications terminal equipment, radio communication equipment and telecommunications equipment involved in interconnection between networks that are used to access public telecommunications networks (China Mobile, China Unicom, and telecommunications). Telecommunications equipment that implements the network access licensing system must obtain a network access license issued by the Ministry of Information Industry; without a network access license, it may not be connected to the public telecommunications network for use or sold in the country.

SRRC is the compulsory certification requirement of the National Radio Regulatory Commission, which is what we often call type approval, and CTA is the compulsory requirement of the Telecommunication Equipment Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for communication products. The CTA needs an SRRC certificate before issuing a certificate. Simply put, this is the final intersection of two parallel lines.

Network license, the state implements a network access license system for telecommunications terminal equipment, radio communication equipment and telecommunications equipment involved in interconnection between networks used to access public telecommunications networks. The telecommunications equipment that implements the network access license system must obtain the network access license issued by the Ministry of Information Industry; if the network access license is not obtained, it is not allowed to connect to the public telecommunications network for use and sell in the country. The network access license certificate contains the certificate number, applicant unit, manufacturer, equipment name, equipment model, place of production, remarks, certificate issuance date, and certificate limited date. The general validity period of the network access license is 3 years.

CTA certification requires application materials
