Japan TELEC certification
1. What is TELEC certification in Japan?
Japan’s Radio Law requires type approval (technical regulatory compliance certification) for designated radio equipment. TELEC certification is mandatory, and the certification body is a registration certification body recognized by MIC in the specified range of radio equipment. TELEC (Telecom Engineering Center) is the main registration certification body for the conformity certification of radio equipment in Japan, and TELEC is also called MIC certification in Japan. TELEC is one of the certification agencies designated by MIC, so it is collectively referred to as TELEC certification
Telecom Engineer Center (TELEC) is a Japanese testing organization and radio equipment certification. The body regulates technical conformity certification of radio products in Japan and has been operating for the last 40 years. Today, TELEC has expanded its horizons to measure equipment and other testing . Apart from technical regulations conformity certification, TELEC also covers social contribution projects.
2. Japanese Radio Law
Products with radio technologies must be tested and approved in accordance with the Japanese Radio Law for market approval in Japan. These include, but are not limited to, the following technologies:
Bluetooth / WLAN
Cellular technologies (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G)
RFID (2.4 GHz, 920 MHz)
Ultra wideband Technology…
3. TELEC Method
There are two kinds of certification procedures, one is certification of conformity with technical regulations (Test Certification) and the other is certification for construction design of specified radio equipment (Type Certification)
Test Certification means to certify radio equipment by testing one-by-one, and the certificate is effective only for each. This is suitable for small-lot production.
Type Certification means to certify radio equipment by testing a sample unit among the units with the same design and the same manufacturing procedures, that is, type testing. This is suitable for mass-production.
4. Benefits of TELEC Certification
