Certification Introduction

The certification of radio frequency equipment in Japan is called Radio Equipment Type Approval. The official control agency is the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan. The main certification agency is TELEC (Telecom Engineering Center) designated by MIC, and RF Technologies /JQA/SGS/ITS/TUV/UL, etc., a total of 12 certification agencies, so it is usually called TELEC certification, also known as MIC certification, RF certification, GITEKI certification, technology certification, similar to the domestic SRRC certification.

TELEC certification follows Japan's "Radio Law" (Radio Law), and the specific test specification follows the MIC (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 the technical regulations approved by MIC, and it is mandatory to apply for a type approval certificate (ie TELEC certification) for radio equipment.

Description of TELEC certification, GITEKI certification, MIC certification and MARK certification

·TELEC certification and GITEKI certification

The full name of Japan's TELEC is TELECom Engineering Center. It is the certification body of the "Radio Wave Law" recognized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan. In 2014, the TELEC agency also obtained the certification qualification of the "Electrical Communication Business Law". Now generally speaking, TELEC certification is equivalent to GITEKI certification. .

·TELEC certification and MIC certification

The Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is referred to as MIC, and the full English name is Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is the regulatory agency of Japan's "Radio Wave Law" and "Electrical Communication Business Law". Generally speaking, MIC certification is equivalent to TELEC certification.

·TELEC certification and MARK technology certification

After passing the TELEC certification, the product can be printed with the GITEKI logo. GITEKI comes from the Japanese name for certification: "Technology マーク", the Japanese word technology is spelled GITEKI in Roman characters, so GITEKI certification is also called technology certification, GITEKI certification and Skilled certification is just a different name.

Certification classification

TELEC certification includes Test Certification and Type Certification. The test certification is verified for each equipment unit, and the certification is only valid for each verified equipment unit;

Type approval refers to the verification of a sample of a batch of equipment of the same design and manufacture. The certification is valid for the batch of equipment, but if the design or manufacture of the equipment has changed, 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 a license from the MIC. In addition, there are two cases for compliance certification of telecommunications terminal equipment:

· For ordinary telephone devices, JATE certification is required only as required by the Telecommunications Business Law;

· For wireless terminal equipment, in addition to JATE certification according to the requirements of the Telecommunications Business Law, TELEC certification according to the requirements of the Radio Law is also required.

Applicable product range

TELEC certification for wireless radio frequency products include: Bluetooth products, ZigBee products, telemeters, WiFi products, wireless microphones, pagers, LTE RFID (2.4GHz, 920MHz) products, UWB radio systems, GSM products, etc.

application process

1. Fill in the application form, prepare materials and samples

2. The testing agency reviews the data and initially tests the samples

3. The testing agency formally submits an application to the agency recognized by the MIC of the Ministry of General Affairs

4. Institutional review documents

5. Sample test, provide test report (can be tested by authorized laboratory)

6. After the documents and test reports are passed, the Japanese MIC will issue a certificate

Application materials

1. Technical model specification table

2. Quality management system statement

3. Quality Control Confirmation Method or Manufacturer ISO 9001 Certificate

4. Confirmation letter of construction guarantee

5. Rated power statement

6. Antenna report

7. Test report including test results, photos of test settings and inspections performed)

8. Block diagrams, schematic diagrams, bill of materials, parts placement, IC data sheets, internal and external photos, product descriptions, user manuals, operating/technical descriptions, accessories descriptions)

9. Label information Label location, label content)

10. If you are an agent or authorized representative of the manufacturer, a letter of authorization/authorization is also required

Certification fee

The cost of TELEC certification varies according to different products and functions, such as products with Bluetooth, WIFI function, 2.4GHz function, different functions, different costs, even different Bluetooth single-mode and dual-mode, the cost is also different. Specific TELEC certification fees need to be quoted after evaluation. Most of the TELEC certification quotations for common products start at 10,000 yuan.

Bluetooth and WIFI product testing requirements

The test certification is verified for each device unit, and the certification is only valid for each verified device unit; the test items of WiFi and Bluetooth products are basically similar to the European standard EN300 328. Among them, 2.4GHz WiFi products (802.11b /g, 2412~2472 MHz) and Bluetooth products use the standard MIC Notice No.88 Annex43, but for 14 channels (Channel 14: 2471 ~ 2497MHz) of 2.4GHz WiFi products, you need to use Annex44 for testing and reporting. The corresponding fee also needs to be increased. For 5GHz WiFi products (802.11a, 5180~5320MHz, W52 Band and W53 Band), the test standard to follow is Annex45, but it should be noted that the data shows that MIC will modify Annex45 in the near future, and the 5.6GHz device (Band W56) will also be modified. It is classified into Annex45 and has stricter DFS test requirements for Band 56 frequency band.

Bluetooth product test content

1. Frequency Error Measurement

2. Occupied Bandwidth and Spread-spectrum Bandwidth / Factor

3. Unwanted Emission Intensity Measurement

4. Antenna Power Error Measurement

5. Receiver spurious disturbance test (Limitation of Collateral Emission of Receiver Measurement)

6. Transmission Antenna Gain (EIRP Antenna Power) Measurement

7. Transmission Radiation Angle Width (3dB Beamwidth) Measurement

8. Duty Cycle Measurement

9. Retention time test
