Frequently Asked Questions

MeitY's Essential Requirements (ER-01), notified in April 2024, mandate specific cyber security standards for CCTV cameras. This is part of the 'Electronics and IT Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order'. It requires devices to be tested and certified for data protection, encryption, firmware integrity, and other security controls.

This is the evaluation framework used by STQC (Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification) to grant the 'Certificate of Conformity' for the MeitY requirements. It assesses the product's compliance against the ER-01 standards, including testing at STQC labs and a review of all technical documentation and security controls.

Testing is conducted at designated STQC (Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification) directorate labs. This includes labs such as ERTLs (Electronics Regional Test Laboratories) and ETDCs (Electronics Test and Development Centres) located across India (e.g., Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru).

The testing is comprehensive and covers several key areas, including:

Network Security Controls (authentication, encryption)
Firmware and Software Integrity (secure boot, patch management)
Privacy & Data Protection
Access Management & Logging (audit logs, password policies)
Physical & Logical Security (debug-port security)
