Radio Frequency Testing

The Japanese market is famous for its strict entry barriers and the ultimate pursuit of quality. For camera products (such as smart home cameras, driving recorders, industrial monitoring, etc.), entering the Japanese market not only needs to meet electrical safety requirements, but also needs to fulfill corresponding legal obligations based on their wireless functions and usage scenarios.

1. Three mandatory and recommended certifications for cameras entering the Japanese market

According to Japanese laws and regulations, camera products mainly involve the following technical access requirements:

1. PSE certification (Electrical Supplies Safety Law) PSE certification is Japan's mandatory market access system for electrical supplies. The camera is usually used with a power adapter, which belongs to a "specific electrical product" and must obtain a diamond PSE logo; If the camera body itself belongs to the specified electronic application mechanical appliance, it must meet the requirements of the circular PSE mark.

2. TELEC certification (Radio Law/Technical Suitability Certification) If the camera has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or 4G/5G communication functions, it must pass TELEC certification (also known as MIC certification or technical benchmark suitability certification). This is mandatory by Japan's Radio Law, which aims to ensure that wireless devices will not interfere with the radio order in Japan.

3. VCCI certification (Voluntary Certification of Electromagnetic Compatibility) VCCI is the electromagnetic interference control requirement for information technology equipment (ITE). Although it is a voluntary certification, Japanese consumers and retailers generally regard it as a yardstick to measure product quality and a "stepping stone" for mainstream sales channels.

2. Core test standards for different types of cameras

According to different functional modules of the camera, the detection standards and emphasis are different.

First, safety testing standard: J62368-1 Japan has been updated to the latest J62368-1 standard (corresponding to international IEC 62368-1). The test covers input testing, temperature rise, pressure resistance, mechanical strength and fire protection requirements.

Second, radio frequency test: TELEC certification of radio wave classification will strictly test the occupied bandwidth, frequency deviation, spurious transmission power, etc. of the equipment. If it is a dual-band Wi-Fi camera, it needs to cover the test requirements of both 2.4 GHz and 5GHz frequency bands.

Third, METI filing (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry filing) After obtaining the PSE certificate, Japanese importers must declare and file with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) within 30 days after the product is imported, and properly keep the METI filing documents and test reports.

3. Certification processing process, cycle and cost analysis

Understanding how to apply for camera export certification to Japan and related costs will help companies optimize their supply chain plans.

1. Basic process of certification: First, the laboratory of GTG Guangce Group conducts plan evaluation and thorough test on the samples; Then conduct a formal experiment and issue a test report; Finally, the report and technical data will be submitted to the Japanese license issuing agency for review. After the license is obtained, the Japanese agent or importer will assist in completing the METI filing.

2. Cost and cycle description How much it costs to export to Japan for certification depends on the complexity of the product. For example, pure wired cameras only need to consider PSE, while wireless cameras need to add TELEC detection fees. The expenses include testing fees, certificate issuance fees and technical consultation fees. Usually the TELEC certification cycle is around 3 to 4 weeks.

4. Institutional decision-making period: Why choose GTG Guangce Group as Japan's compliance partner

When choosing a certified testing institution, technical depth and response speed to the latest Japanese regulations are the core factors in the decision-making.

1. Fourteen years of deep cultivation in testing and standard mastery GTG Guangce Group has been deeply involved in the field of certification testing for 14 years and is familiar with the latest revision trends of Japan's "Electrical Supplies Safety Law" and "Radio Law" (such as the revision of Japan's four product safety laws in 2025) to ensure that your products always meet the latest compliance requirements.

2. ISO/IEC 17025 international standard operation. Our laboratory operates in strict accordance with the international management system. It has an advanced radio frequency anechoic chamber and safety laboratory, which can provide high-precision and high-reliability testing data for camera products to ensure smooth passing. Institutional review.

3. Customer first and one-stop compliance solution Adhering to the service concept of "customer first, teamwork, co-creation and win-win", we provide manufacturers and listed companies with full link support from PSE, TELEC to VCCI and METI filing. Through technical pre-evaluation, the risk of return and removal of products exported to Japan can be effectively reduced.
