The Telecommunications Engineering Centre (TEC) has recently announced several amendments and modifications to the official MTCTE procedure. These changes are outlined below:

The previous version of clause 5.4 stated:

“Only complete-in-itself, standalone, independent equipment are tested and certified under MTCTE. Equipment modules/components are not covered by MTCTE. Further, combinations of independent equipment made to form systems are not certified under MTCTE; instead, each independent equipment should be certified separately.”

The updated clause 5.4 now reads:

“Combinations of independent equipment made to form systems are not certified under MTCTE; instead, each independent equipment should be certified separately.”

Similarly, item (I) of Table A.2 in Annexure A previously stated:

“Spare cards or chassis/components/modules/transceivers such as SFPs/patch cords” are items that will not be covered under MTCTE.

The revised item (I) of Table A.2 in Annexure A now reads:

“Spare cards or chassis” are items that will not be covered under MTCTE.
