Radio product market approval in Japan is granted on the basis of Japan Radio Law/Japanese Telecommunication Business Law and issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) and is a necessity for the marketing of products in Japan.
A MIC certification is permanently valid for the Japanese market. Therefore, unchanged products do not have to be recertified. This certification is carried out by a certification body recognized by the MIC, a so-called Registered Certification Body (RCB). An RCB may, on behalf of the MIC, review and grant an application for certification and authorize the market for a product. Manufacturers must schedule between four and six weeks for a MIC certification.
The role of an RCB
In an effort to make the certification process with regards to the Radio Law or/and Telecommunications Business Law more efficient for manufacturers in and outside Japan, MIC (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) has appointed so-called Recognized Certifications Bodies (RCB).
An RCB has the authority to review and grant an application for Certification on behalf of MIC.
MIC certification label
After a successful approval for the Japanese market, the manufacturer is obliged to label the product with the label defined in the specifications of the MIC. Here is a minimum size of 3mm defined. In addition to the label, the Radio Type Approval Number and the Telecommunication Number need to be mapped, which are awarded in the context of the admission procedure. In the case of an implementation of other technologies, such as RFID, it is also necessary to examine the extent to which additional approval markings are to be used.
