information which is publicly available in Japanese from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication (MIC).1 All information included in this booklet is for reference purposes only and is subject to change. This information booklet is divided into two sections. The first section covers regulatory requirements for radio equipment in Japan. Please use this section to determine what approvals may be required for your product in Japan. The second section provides detailed information about JQA’s application procedure for Specified Radio Equipment Type Certification. This section is aimed at customers who are already familiar with the Radio Law and are ready to proceed with conformity assessment and certification. For further information on any topics in this booklet, or to request a detailed service quotation, please contact JQA’s Global Market Access Division. We are currently able to accept inquiries in English, Chinese, and Japanese.

MIC’s terms accurately reflect the Japanese terms; however, they may be opaque for international manufacturers. JQA has chosen to use more typical international terms as much as possible. When relevant, these differences are indicated in explanatory notes. 1 Japan Market Access – Application Guide Section 1 - Japan Radio Law Requirements Introduction to the Radio Law and Its Regulations The Radio Law was established in 1950 to ensure fair and efficient use of the radio spectrum. Broadly speaking, the law covers radio station licensing and operation, radio equipment approval systems, radio operator requirements, and penalties for violating the law. Supporting regulations and notifications issued by MIC establish detailed procedures and rules for each of those topics. A list of the main regulations regarding radio equipment approval is provided below for reference. A full list in Japanese is available on MIC’s website. 1. The Radio Law ( 2. Enforcing (Cabinet) Order of the Radio Law ( " 3. Enforcing Ordinance of the Radio Law 4. Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment ( 5. Ordinance concerning Certification of Conformity to Technical Standards, Etc… of Specified Radio Equipment ( ! 6. MIC Notifications related to the Radio Law ( 2 Japan Market Access – Application Guide In-scope Products The Radio Law’s scope covers all products which emit electromagnetic waves with frequencies under 3 THz. The Radio Law requires approvals of not only wireless communications devices, but also high-frequency devices such as welders and induction heating (IH) cooking equipment. Specified Radio Equipment and Special Specified Radio Equipment • Bluetooth • WiFi • LTE • GSM • ZigBee • Wireless mics • RFID (2.4 GHz, 920 MHz) • Telemeters • Pagers • UWB radio systems • Etc… Article 38-2-2 of the Radio Law defines different types of Specified Radio Equipment (SRE). In general, consumer-operated radio equipment is categorized as SRE. Most SRE must obtain third-party certification by an MIC-designated Registered Certification Body (RCB) such as JQA. However, some SRE are defined as Special Specified Radio Equipment (SSRE). These products must still be tested for compliance, but are subject to a simplified procedure of self-declaration and registration with MIC. High-Frequency Devices2 • IH cooking equipment • Microwaves • Electrode-less discharge lamps • Welders • RFID (13.56 MHz) • Ultrasonic devices • PLCs • Other equipment over 10 kHz (including ISM, such as MRI machines, plasma devices, etc…) Article 46 of the Enforcing Ordinance specifies High-Frequency Devices (HFD). Most of these products must be tested for compliance and registered by a local Japanese company with the relevant regional branch of MIC before they can be placed on the market. A small number of these products are exempt from any kind registration, but must still comply with the legal requirements. Contact JQA if you are unsure whether your product requires registration. 2 MIC’s terms: “Industrial Facilities Emitting Radio Waves” Japan Market Access Extremely Low-Power Devices Article 6-1 of the Enforcing Ordinance defines Extremely Low ELPs are license-exempt and do not require certification. However, Radio Law’s interference requirements is activities, MIC discovered that many ELPs on the market are not Law’s requirements. Accordingly, a voluntary certificatio Mark, has been introduced to assure suppliers and consumers that the products they purchase will not cause interference or be adversely affected by interference. JQA is a registered lab under the obtaining registration to display a voluntary ELP Other • Maritime radio stations • Aeronautic radio stations • Experimental stations • Etc… The Radio Law includes provisions for many types of specialized order to comply with international agreements Japan is a signatory to, such as SOLAS. JQA does not handle approvals of such equipment and they are not included in this information booklet.

However, compliance with the s interference requirements is mandatory. During recent market surveillance activities, MIC discovered that many ELPs on the market are not in compliance with the Radio s requirements. Accordingly, a voluntary certification and registration scheme has been introduced to assure suppliers and consumers that the products they purchase will not cause interference or be adversely affected by interference. JQA is a registered lab under the ELP Mark scheme and can assist foreign manufacturers in obtaining registration to display a voluntary ELP Mark.
