The Radio Law requires model approval (i.e. technical regulatory compliance certification) for designated radio equipment. TELEC certification is mandatory, and the certification body is a registered certification body recognized by MIC within the designated radio equipment range. TELEC (Telecom Engineering Center) is the main registration and certification body for compliance certification of wireless equipment in Japan.

(1) TELEC certification standards

The technical standards for certification can be found in the classification and technical standards of designated radio equipment listed in the Technical Regulation Compliance Certification System on its official website. It is worth noting that in case of any differences between these technical standards and the technical requirements of Radio Regulatory Commission Rules No. 18, the Radio Regulatory Commission Rules shall prevail.

(2) Certification type

TELEC certification includes Test Certification and Type Certification. Test certification is a verification process for each device unit, which is only valid for each verified device unit; Type certification refers to the verification of samples of a batch of equipment with the same design and manufacturing. The certification is valid for all equipment in the batch, but if there are changes in the design or manufacturing of the equipment, it will need to be re certified. It is worth noting that the use of non low power wireless power stations and their terminal equipment requires applying for a license from MIC. In addition, there are two situations for compliance certification of telecommunications terminal equipment: for ordinary telephone devices, as long as JATE certification is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Telecommunications Industry Law; For wireless terminal devices, in addition to JATE certification required by the Telecommunications Act, TELEC certification is also required according to the requirements of the Wireless Law.
