STQC certification support for testing and quality approval routes
Government Procurement Compliance for CCTV Manufacturers, OEMs, Importers & Security Technology Companies
As India's digital infrastructure, smart city projects, public surveillance systems, transportation networks, and critical government facilities continue to expand, the demand for secure, reliable, and compliant surveillance technology has increased significantly.
To ensure quality, cybersecurity, interoperability, and trusted deployment of electronic surveillance equipment, the Government of India has established testing and certification frameworks through the Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) Directorate under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
