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.
