Certification introduction
Japan's certification for radio frequency equipment is called Radio
Equipment Type Approval. The official control agency is MIC
(Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) of Japan. The
main certification agency is TELEC (Telecom Engineering Center)
designated by MIC, as well as RF Technologies. /JQA/SGS/ITS/TUV/UL,
etc., there are a total of 12 certification agencies, so it is
usually called TELEC certification. It is also called MIC
certification, RF certification, GITEKI certification, and
technical fitness certification, which is similar to the domestic
SRRC certification.
TELEC certification follows Japan's Radio Law, and the specific
test specifications follow MIC (Japanese Ministry of Internal
Affairs and Communications) Notice No. 88 regulations. According to
the requirements of Japan's "Radio Wave Law", the production, sale,
and operation of wireless equipment in Japan must comply with
technical regulations approved by MIC, and it is mandatory to apply
for a type approval certificate (ie TELEC certification) for radio
equipment.

Instructions for TELEC certification, GITEKI certification, MIC
certification and MARK technical fitness certification
·TELEC certification and GITEKI certification
The full name of Japan's TELEC is TELECom Engineering Center. It is
the certification agency of the "Radio Wave Act" recognized by the
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan. In 2014,
the TELEC organization also obtained the certification
qualification of the "Electrical Communications Business Act". Now,
in popular terms, TELEC certification is equivalent to GITEKI
certification. .
·TELEC certification and MIC certification
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan is
abbreviated as MIC, and its full English name is Ministry of
Internal Affairs and Communications. The Ministry of Internal
Affairs and Communications is the regulatory agency for Japan's
"Radio Wave Law" and "Electrical Communications Business Law".
Generally speaking, MIC certification is equivalent to TELEC
certification.
·TELEC certification and MARK technical fitness certification
After passing the TELEC certification, the product can be printed
with the GITEKI logo. GITEKI comes from the Japanese name for
certification: "techie マーク". The Japanese characters spell GITEKI
in romaji, so GITEKI certification is also called technology
certification. GITEKI certification and Technical fitness
certification is just a different name.
Certification classification
TELEC certification includes test certification (Test
Certification) and type certification (Type Certification). Test
certification is verified for each equipment unit, and the
certification is only valid for each verified equipment unit;
Type certification refers to the verification of samples of a batch
of equipment of the same design and manufacture. The certification
is valid for this batch of equipment, but if the design or
manufacturing of the equipment changes, the equipment will need to
be re-certified.
It is worth noting that the use of non-low-power radio stations and
their terminal equipment requires application for a license from
the MIC. In addition, there are two situations for compliance
certification of telecommunications terminal equipment:
· For ordinary telephone equipment, JATE certification only needs
to be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the
Telecommunications Business Act;
· For wireless terminal equipment, in addition to JATE
certification required by the Telecommunications Business Act,
TELEC certification is also required according to the Radio Act.
Applicable product range
TELEC certification is for wireless radio frequency products
including: Bluetooth products, ZigBee products, telemeters, WiFi
products, wireless microphones, pagers, LTE·RFID (2.4GHz, 920MHz)
products, UWB radio systems, GSM products, etc.
