What is TELEC certification?

TELEC certification is the mandatory certification for wireless equipment under Japan's Radio Law. TELEC stands for Telecommunication Engineering Center, which is an independent administrative agency responsible for the certification of radio equipment in Japan. The Japanese Radio Law requires that all radio equipment must undergo TELEC certification or confirmation before being sold or used, to ensure that these devices do not cause interference with radio communications and comply with Japan's radio and safety standards. This includes various wireless and RF devices such as mobile phones, wireless routers, Bluetooth devices, RFID devices, etc. The TELEC certification process typically includes steps such as technical document review, sample testing, and compliance declaration. Once the equipment is certified, it will receive a certification number, which must be marked on the product for identification by regulatory authorities and consumers. For companies wishing to import or sell radio products in the Japanese market, obtaining TELEC certification is a necessary step. TELEC certification is also known as MIC R mark certification.
