In reference to Para 4 of Circular issued by IPHW Division, MeitY vide No. W-18/26/2025-IPHW dated 04.02.2026

Since the Essential Requirements (ERs) for Security under CRO and Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order (PPP-MII) are same, thus, to bring in uniformity in the process for registration under CRO and PPP-MII Order, it is clarified that henceforth, STQC will issue the test report for Security as per the Essential Requirements (ERs) under CRO which would be applicable for compliance to PPP-MII. For clarity, the security certifications issued by STQC would have no linkages with the value additions requirement for the PPP-MII.

It is further indicated that the IoT System Certification Scheme (IoTSCS) is applicable to IoT devices, wherein CCTV cameras are one of the covered product categories. The above clarification is limited to Essential Requirements (ERs) for Security under CRO and PPP-MII only. All concerned are requested to proceed accordingly.

The Product certified list pertaining to PPO certification of Network Camera(s) is no longer being updated and is retained solely for historical reference. However, the list shall continue to be updated for other categories of IoT devices that are currently under evaluation or will be evaluated under the IoT System Certification Scheme (IoTSCS).
