Short answer
Use the current equipment-directory entry to confirm the product name, applicable standards, required test scope and whether expert review applies. Do this before commissioning tests because a marketing name or radio module approval does not establish the finished product's network-access category.
All application materials must be in Chinese. A certificate or licence originally issued in another language needs a Chinese translation. Applications are submitted online through the MIIT network-access system; if the applicant does not use an electronic signature, the signed and sealed paper application form must reach MIIT by the time the decision is collected.
- Application and legal identity: the official application form; the domestic applicant's business licence, or the foreign applicant's registration record; and, for a foreign applicant, the Chinese agent's licence and authorization letter.
- Organization and quality: an applicant profile covering production conditions, instruments, quality assurance and after-sales measures; records for any legally required repair, replacement and return responsibilities; and the manufacturer's quality-system certificate or qualifying audit report.
- Product and conformity: functions, performance indicators, block diagram, internal and external photographs, instructions, and a test report or product certification certificate from a recognized qualified body.
- Conditional trial file: for wireless communication, interconnection or new telecom equipment, the overall technical plan and the trial body's report covering at least three months of network testing.
