Certification Introduction

Telecom terminal equipment, etc. who want to access the public telecommunication network need to apply for a network access license. The “network access license” of communication products is commonly known as “CTA” in the industry. According to China’s current laws and regulations, the state implements a network access permit system for telecommunication terminal equipment, radio communication equipment and telecommunications equipment used for access to public telecommunication networks (mobile, China Unicom, and telecommunications). Telecommunication equipment that implements the network access license system must obtain a network access license issued by the Ministry of Information Industry; those who have not obtained a network access license may not access the public telecommunication network for use and sale in the country.
SRRC is a compulsory certification requirement of the National Radio Regulatory Commission, which is the type approval we often say. CTA is a compulsory requirement for telecommunications products by the Telecommunications Equipment Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The CTA needs to issue an SRRC certificate before issuing a certificate. Simply put, this is the two parallel lines that eventually intersect.
Network license, the state implements a network access license system for telecommunication terminal equipment, radio communication equipment and telecommunications equipment used for inter-network interconnection. Telecommunication equipment that implements the network access license system must obtain a network access license issued by the Ministry of Information Industry; those who have not obtained a network access license may not access the public telecommunication network for use and sale in the country. The network access license certificate contains the certificate number, application unit, manufacturing enterprise, equipment name, equipment model, origin, remarks, certificate issue date, and certificate limited date. The access license is generally valid for 3 years.
