Frequently asked questions
Which certifications are mandatory to sell an IoT device in Japan?
MIC / TELEC (Japanese radio certification (Giteki)). Each record lists the issuing body, what it covers and what it does not cover.
Are voluntary marks needed as well?
No voluntary schemes are catalogued for this market yet.
Where can I read the official requirement?
Every certification record links to the issuing body or the regulation text. Start from this page, open the record and follow its source links.
Does a certificate for a module cover the finished product?
No. A module certificate covers the module; the finished device usually needs its own approval or a documented module grant reference. Confirm with the issuing body or your test laboratory.
