Sourcing Electronics from China for the Japan Market
2 resources tagged with "Japan"
Selling China-made electronics into Japan turns on TELEC/MIC type approval under the Radio Law for any wireless device, plus the ARIB technical standards your radio must meet. Practically, a Wi-Fi, BLE, or LoRa product needs a Japan-specific certification path — often module-level TELEC approval — that is separate from FCC or CE, and it is a common oversight for buyers who assume CE/FCC covers global sale. We confirm the TELEC/MIC route and check whether a pre-approved module shortcuts your certification before you commit to volume.
Japan market access means meeting the Radio Law (TELEC/MIC type approval) and the relevant ARIB standards, distinct from CE/FCC. The pitfall is assuming Western certifications transfer; they do not, so we plan the TELEC path early, ideally choosing a module that already carries Japanese approval.

FAQ
Does FCC or CE certification cover sale in Japan?
No. Japan requires TELEC/MIC type approval under the Radio Law for wireless devices, independent of FCC and CE. Plan a separate Japan certification path for any product with a radio.
Can a pre-certified module shortcut TELEC approval?
Often yes. Sourcing a radio module that already holds TELEC/MIC approval can let your finished product inherit much of the approval, saving a full test cycle. Confirm the module's certificate covers the antenna and configuration you ship.
