  1. ITU Workshop on Standards and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Issues Standardisation in India Arun Golas DDG (T&A) TEC

  2. Agenda • Standardisation in India • Role of Government • Current Position • Future developments

  3. Standards • What is a standard? • Requirements of user • Actual requirement for the intended purpose • Quality • Quantity • Safety & Security • Is cost the decisive factor? • Do we bother about quality? • Quality is commensurate with cost

  4. Need for Standards • Ensure conformance to desired requirements • Ensure quality • Ensure Repeatability for • Manufacturer • User • No compromise, even unknowingly or unwittingly, with • Personal safety • Personal security • Pocket

  5. Necessity of standards for telecom devices? • Can never be a stand-alone device • Have to interwork with other devices • Must follow pre-defined protocols for any service or application • Conformance for • Performance • Interoperability • EMI/EMC/EMF • Safety • Security • Health • No necessity of legislation, as standardisation is ‘the’ only way to ensure performance

  6. Standardisation in India • Creation of National Standards • Harmonisation of International Standards • Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) • All products, except telecom • Telecom Engineering Centre (TEC) • All telecom products • Telecom arm of DoT, and represents Government of India in international telecom bodies • Formulates technical requirements • Tests and certifies telecom products, interfaces, and networks

  7. Application of Standards • No checks for conformance to standards • No mandatory certification before induction in telecom network • Products may ‘not’ conform to all the desired specifications • May not interwork properly • May cause harm to other equipment or user • Standardisation promotes, anddoes not hinder development in telecom • Market is mature now

  8. Mandatory Certification • All telecom equipment to be tested and certified before induction in Indian telecom network • Minimum parameters to be tested – conformance to standards, user and network safety, and integrity • Changes in Telegraph Rules and Licenses to implement the scheme • Testing by Conformance Assessment Bodies (CAB) • Certification by Certification Body (CB) – TEC • Use of Certifying Logo • Surveillance

  9. Way Forward forDevelopment of Standards • Motivate stakeholders (R&D centres, manufacturers, service providers, academia, users, etc.) to collaborate and channelize R&D activities for development of standards/IPRs for new products and services • Involve all academia and R&D centres for telecom products and services • Motivate stakeholders to participate in developmental process of standards in national and international forums • Participate in National Working Group (NWG) meetings to agree upon national stance on a particular standard • Participate in International Forums, like ITU, to project ‘national’ standard

  10. Establishment of SDO • Establish a national telecom Standards Development Organisation, to focus especially on the country-specific requirements. • Draw synergy of all the stakeholders, viz., R&D centres, manufacturers, service providers, academia, users, etc. • Evolve methodologies for transfer-of-technology, manufacture and commercialisation of new products and services, for generation of revenue for survival of the entire process. • Evolve suitable mechanism for handling IPRs, without stifling the growth.

  11. Development of new Standards and Products • Research on a new product or service, based on new specifications • Develop prototype • Lab testing for conformance, performance, interoperability, etc. • Field trial and validation • File IPR • Validate the new specifications as new standards – TEC • Followed by • Manufacturing • Commercialisation • Deployment

  12. Conclusion • Communication • Anyone • Anytime • Anywhere • Any Screen • Conformance to all protocols is essential • Standardisation is essential
