5G Japan TELEC Certification Testing

Introduction to Japan's telec certification:

TELEC certification is a mandatory certification in Japan for wireless products, similar to China’s SRRC. It follows Japan's Radio Law, and the specific testing standards are based on the MIC (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) Notice No. 88 regulations. The update and maintenance of these testing standards are also handled by MIC.

There are three terms used for Japan’s wireless certification: MIC, TELEC, and giteki. Among these, TELEC certification is the most commonly used.

TELEC certification includes: testing certification and type certification.

1. Testing Certification: This is for verifying each individual device unit, and the certification is only valid for the specific verified device unit.

2. Type Certification: This refers to the verification of a sample batch of devices with the same design and manufacturing process. This certification applies to all devices in the batch, but if the design or manufacturing of the device changes, the device will need to be re-certified.

The testing items for wireless WiFi and Bluetooth products are basically consistent with the European EN300 328 standard:

- For 2.4GHz wireless WiFi products (802.11b/g, 2412-2472 MHz) and Bluetooth products, the standard is MIC Notice No.88 Annex 43. However, for the 14th channel of 2.4GHz WiFi products (Channel 14: 2471 ~ 2497 MHz), Annex 44 must be used for testing and reporting separately.

- For 5GHz WiFi products (802.11a, 5180-5320MHz, W52 Band and W53 Band), the testing standard is Annex 45. It should be noted that MIC is expected to amend Annex 45 soon to include 5.6GHz devices (Band W56) under Annex 45, with more stringent DFS testing requirements for Band 56.

Details are as follows:

- MIC Notice No.88 Appendix No.43: Bluetooth and WiFi

- MIC Notice No.88 Appendix No.44: WiFi Channel 14

- MIC Notice No.88 Appendix No.45: 5G WiFi

- MIC Notice No.88 Appendix No.22-1: 315M Remote Control

- MIC Notice No.88 Appendix No.22-8: Wireless Microphone
