With the continuous advancement of technology products, an increasing number of wireless and communication devices are entering the Japanese market. Whether it's laptops, routers, mobile phones, or Bluetooth headsets, any product involving wireless functionality or requiring access to telecommunications networks must obtain Japan's GITEKI certification. Today, we provide a comprehensive analysis of Japan's certification system to help your products smoothly enter the Japanese market.
01. What is GITEKI Certification?
GITEKI certification is a mandatory system established by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) under the Radio Law and the Telecommunications Business Act. It ensures the legality and compliance of wireless and communication devices in Japan. Products without certification cannot be legally sold in Japan and may face fines or other penalties.
GITEKI certification comprises two core components:
· Wireless Products: Radio Law (JRL, TELEC)
· Communication Products: Telecommunications Business Act (JTBL, JATE)
02. What is the difference between JATE and TELEC certification?
JATE Certification
Falls under the scope of the Telecommunications Business Act.
Primarily targets equipment accessing telecommunications networks, such as mobile phones and set-top boxes.
Testing includes signaling interaction functions to ensure devices communicate properly with networks.
The certification mark features an icon with the letter “T”.
TELEC Certification
Falls under the Radio Law certification framework.
Primarily tests the RF performance of wireless devices to ensure compliance with Japan's radio frequency usage standards.
The certification mark features an icon with the letter “R”.
03. Which products require both JATE and TELEC certification?
Devices with both wireless and telecommunications network functions—such as smartphones and set-top boxes—must obtain both JATE and TELEC certifications for sale in the Japanese market. This dual certification ensures compliance with Japanese regulations for both wireless transmission and network communication.
Why is GITEKI certification so important?
GITEKI certification is not only a legal requirement for entering the Japanese market but also a rigorous assurance of product quality and performance. Certified products enhance consumer trust and establish a more professional and reliable brand image.
If your product involves wireless or communication functions, it is essential to plan for certification in advance to ensure smooth market entry in Japan.
