Taiwan NCC Certification Introduction

NCC stands for National Communications Commission, which is a regULatory body in Taiwan responsible for managing communications, spectrum frequency, radio wave testing, domain names, and international cooperation. Communication and information devices must obtain NCC certification before being circulated or used in Taiwan's market.

Taiwan NCC Certification Process:  

1. The client submits product information to JJR Labs for evaluation and quotation.  

2. The client confirms and signs the quotation, fills out the application, provides samples and documentation, and makes the initial payment.  

3. Product prediction and documentation review.  

4. If issues arise during testing, adjustments are made, and re-testing is performed until the product passes.  

5. Once testing and documentation pass, the certification body conducts a witnessed test.  

6. After the witnessed test, a test report is issued, and certification is granted.  

7. The client settles the remaining payment and receives the certification report, concluding the case.

Key Points to Consider for Taiwan NCC Certification:  

- Type: Mandatory  

- Sample Requirements: 1-2 units  

- Factory Inspection: Not required  

- Local Testing: Yes  

- Certification Period: 4-5 weeks  

Documents Required for NCC Certification Application:  

1. Application form  

2. Test report for samples  

3. User manual or operation guide (in Chinese or English)  

4. Product specifications (in Chinese or English)  

5. Circuit diagrams or block diagrams  

6. Business registration certificate  

7. Foreign manufacturers need to provide legal company establishment documents and telecom regulation licenses for radio frequency equipment.  

Note: NCC does not accept foreign test reports or certificates. Foreign manufacturers may temporarily hold the certification before appointing a local agent, but a local agent is required for product importation.
