Japan Radio Law and MIC Certification

Element is one of a handful Registered Certification Bodies (RCBs) outside Japan that can certify radio equipment for the Japanese market place.

Element is a Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) appointed Registered Certification Body (RCB), also known as a Japanese Conformity Assessment Body (CAB); a RCB can be used for certification of radio devices which enables the use of Ordinance mark, which is also known as the “Giteki” or TELEC mark, on the product. MIC certification is required for certain categories of radio devices prior to placing them into the Japanese market place.

Your equipment needs to be assessed to applicable Japanese Radio Ordinance Law and then the results (test reports) are submitted, along with other documentation such as schematic diagrams, bill of materials and user materials, to the RCB for evaluation.

A successful evaluation of the submitted documents will lead to RCB issuing a MIC ID which is required to be placed on the products prior to placing them into the Japanese market.
