Certification introduction:

VCCI is Japan's electromagnetic compatibility certification mark, managed by the Voluntary Control Committee for Interference from Information Technology Equipment. VCCI certification is optional, but information technology products sold in Japan generally require VCCI certification. Manufacturers should first apply to become a VCCI member before they can use the VCCI mark. In order to be recognized by VCCI, the EMI test report provided must be issued by a testing agency registered and recognized by VCCI, and Japan currently does not have a standard for immunity.

Necessity of VCCI certification:

Although VCCI certification is optional, it is used by many companies to prove the quality of their products. Therefore, VCCI certification is only "voluntary" in theory, and market pressure makes it practical.

BACL has been accepted as a partner by Japan's unofficial Committee for Control of Interference (VCCI). 

A product's Class A label must indicate that the product complies with radio frequency exposure regulations, and Class B products can display only the basic VCCI symbol.

1. Class A equipment: Must meet the restrictions of Class A. ITE equipment other than Class B.

2. Class B equipment: Must meet the restriction requirements of Class B. Class B is for home environment (home environment refers to an environment where radio and television receivers can be used within 10m of information technology equipment, or an environment where radio and television receivers can be used) ) are referred to as products used in residential environments), including: equipment used in non-fixed locations, such as portable equipment powered by rechargeable batteries, communication terminal equipment powered by communication networks, personal computers and portable word processors, and connections thereto peripheral equipment, fax equipment, etc.

Certification Introduction:

JATE (Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment) certification is a compliance certification for telecommunications equipment. This certification is for communication equipment in Japan to ensure that the equipment complies with Japan's "Electrical Communication Business Law". All wireless products connected to public telephones or telecommunications networks must apply for JATE certification. Simply put, JATE certification is Japan's network access certification.

JATE certification is a mandatory certification for Japanese public network telecommunication equipment. Japan's Ministry of Public Administration and Internal Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications (MPHPT) stipulates in Japan's Telecommunications Business Law that Japanese telecommunications equipment implements compulsory certification. The Telecommunications Business Act, established in 1985, stipulates in Article 68 that MPHPT authorizes qualified agencies to implement qualified accreditation of technical conditions.

MPHPT authorizes JATE (Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment) as a qualified agency to carry out accreditation, so we are used to calling Japanese telecommunications equipment certification as JATE certification. JATE approval requires the certification mark to be affixed on the product, and the certification mark uses the serial number. Approved products, applicants, products, certification numbers and other relevant information will be announced in the government gazette and JATE's website.

Generally speaking, telecommunications products entering the Japanese market must meet the testing requirements of Japan's "Telecommunication Law" (JATE certification) and "Radio Wave Law" (TELEC certification).

Basic information of JATE certification:

• Is it mandatory: mandatory certification

• Certificate validity period: no validity period

• Factory inspection requirements: no requirements

• Licensee Requirements: No Requirements

• Technical Information: Voltage Frequency AC 100V/200V , 50Hz /60Hz, Plug JIS 8303

The differences between JATE and TELEC certification are:

The scope of control is different: JATE certification is for communication equipment, TELEC certification is for radio equipment;

The test content is different: JATE certification test signaling interaction test, TELEC certification is generally radio frequency test;

The label characters are different: those with 'T' characters are JATE certification, and those with 'R' characters are TELEC certification, as shown in the figure:

Certification Classification:

There are two types of JATE certification:

1. Technical Conditions Compliance Certification

Technical condition compliance certification includes type approval and stand-alone certification. Technical condition compliance certification ensures that telephone network equipment, wireless calling equipment, ISDN equipment, leased line equipment, etc. can meet the technical requirements (related regulations of terminal equipment) formulated by MPHPT.

2. Technical Requirements Compliance Certification

Technical requirements compliance certification includes type approval and stand-alone certification. Technical requirements compliance certification ensures that wireless calling equipment, leased line equipment and other telecommunication equipment can meet certain technical requirements, which are formulated by telecom operators authorized by MPHPT.

Applicable Product Range:

Communication equipment in Japan today requires JATE certification, such as: telephone network equipment, wireless calling equipment, ISDN equipment, leased line equipment, wireless calling equipment, leased line equipment and other telecommunication equipment.
