MIC/TELEC Certification for Japan: China-Made Electronics
1 resources tagged with "Mic"
MIC (Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) governs radio equipment under the Radio Law, with TELEC being the main accredited certification body issuing the Giteki mark. Selling China-made wireless products in Japan means meeting ARIB standards for the relevant band, and module-level approval lets you reuse a pre-certified radio module's grant instead of re-testing the whole device. Costs and timelines depend on whether you certify at module or device level.
When you source for the Japanese market, confirm any radio module already carries valid TELEC/Giteki approval, because an uncertified radio cannot legally operate in Japan and Customs/market surveillance enforce it. We check that the module's certification number is genuine and that your antenna and band usage stay within the approved scope.

FAQ
Do I need TELEC/MIC certification to sell a wireless device in Japan?
Yes. Any device that transmits radio (Wi-Fi, BLE, cellular, RF remotes) must carry the Giteki mark under the Radio Law before it can be legally sold or operated in Japan. Wired-only products are exempt from this radio requirement.
Can I reuse a module's TELEC approval for my product?
Often yes. If your radio module already holds module-level TELEC/Giteki approval, you can inherit that grant provided you respect the approved antenna and integration conditions. This avoids re-testing the radio itself, though other compliance may still apply.
