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. There are also 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 China's 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.

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.

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.

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.
