Section 1 - Japan Radio Law Requirements
Introduction to the Radio Law and Its Regulations
The Radio Law was established in 1950 to ensure fair and efficient use of the radio spectrum.
Broadly speaking, the law covers radio station licensing and operation, radio equipment
approval systems, radio operator requirements, and penalties for violating the law. Supporting
regulations and notifications issued by MIC establish detailed procedures and rules for each of
those topics.
A list of the main regulations regarding radio equipment approval is provided below forreference.
A full list in Japanese is available on MIC’s website.

1. The Radio Law (電波法)
2. Enforcing (Cabinet) Order of the Radio Law (電波法施行令)
3. Enforcing Ordinance of the Radio Law (電波法施行規則)
4. Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment (無線設備規則)
5. Ordinance concerning Certification of Conformity to Technical Standards, Etc… of Specified
Radio Equipment (特定無線設備の技術基準適合証明等に関する規則)

6. MIC Notifications related to the Radio Law (電波法関係告示)

In-scope Products
The Radio Law’s scope covers all products which emit electromagnetic waves with frequencies
under 3 THz. The Radio Law requires approvals of not only wireless communications devices,
but also high-frequency devices such as welders and induction heating (IH) cooking equipment.

WiFi•

Wireless mics•

UWB radio systems

•

•

Etc…

•

Article 38-2-2 of the Radio Law defines different types of Specified Radio Equipment (SRE).

In

general, consumer-operated radio equipment is categorized as SRE.
Most SRE must obtain third-party certification by an MIC-designated Registered Certification Body
(RCB) such as JQA. However, some SRE are defined as Special Specified Radio Equipment (SSRE).
These products must still be tested for compliance, but are subject to a simplified procedure ofself-declaration and registration with MIC.

Other equipment over

• Electrode-less discharge•

Ultrasonic devices

lamps

10 kHz (including ISM,
such as MRI machines,

Article 46 of the Enforcing Ordinance specifies High-Frequency Devices (HFD). Most of theseproducts must be tested for compliance and registered by a local Japanese company with therelevant regional branch of MIC before they can be placed on the market. A small number ofthese products are exempt from any kind registration but must still comply with the legal
requirements. Contact JQA if you are unsure whether your product requires registration.

Article 6-1 of the Enforcing Ordinance defines Extremely Low-Power Devices (ELPs).
ELPs are license-exempt and do not require certification. However, compliance with theRadio Law’s interference requirements is mandatory. During recent market surveillance
activities, MIC discovered that many ELPs on the market are not in compliance with the Radio
Law’s requirements. Accordingly, a voluntary certification and registration scheme, the ELP
Mark, has been introduced to assure suppliers and consumers that the products theypurchase will not cause interference or be adversely affected by interference.
JQA is a registered lab under the ELP Mark scheme and can assist foreign manufacturers in
obtaining registration to display a voluntary ELP Mark.

Other• Maritime radio stations• Aeronautic radio stations• Experimental stations• Etc…
The Radio Law includes provisions for many types of specialized equipment including provisions inorder to comply with international agreements Japan is a signatory to, such as SOLAS. In general,
JQA does not handle approvals of such equipment and they are not included in this information
booklet.

Japan Market Access – Application Guide

A Note about Licensing ProceduresRadio equipment sold and operated in Japan is subject to four types of licensing procedures.
Broadcasting stations, etc… are subject to a full licensing procedure which requires the issue
of a temporary license following equipment approval, and a formal license after an inspectionof the radio station’s completed setup.
Relatively short range devices such as cell phones, Multi-Channel Access (MCA) land mobile
stations (800 MHz), amateur radio stations, etc… are subject to a simplified licensing procedure
which allows for a formal license to be issued after equipment has been certified to be incompliance.
PHS with antenna output below 10 mW, 5 GHz wireless access systems, 2.4 GHz frequency
hopping devices, etc… are subject to registration. Registration is a fairly simple procedure andapplications can be completed online.
ELPs, specified low-power devices, WLAN, etc… are license-exempt.

Approval Schemes
The Radio Law specifies equipment approval schemes ranging from self-declaration to thirdparty certification. Specified Radio Equipment must obtain either Type Certification or Batch
Certification.

SRE Type Certification3
This scheme corresponds to Type 1a of ISO/IEC 17067:2013. The product’s type of
construction and design is certified using a representative sample (typically 1 or 2 units). This
scheme also includes confirmation of the quality management system used to manufacture
the product through a “Declaration of Quality Management System.”On-site factory inspections are not required.
Certification is granted if the product is in compliance with the technical standards specified
in Item 24 of Article 38 of the Radio Law. This scheme is suitable for mass-produced radio
equipment. Foreign manufacturers are eligible to be certificate holders.

SRE Batch Certification4
This scheme corresponds to Type 1b of ISO/IEC 17067:2013 and the sampling method is inaccordance with JIS Z9015-1 (refer to ISO No.2859-1). Units are tested for compliance withthe technical standards specified in Item 6 of Article 38 of the Radio Law. This scheme issuitable for radio equipment that will only be produced in small batches (typically fewer than
100 units). Foreign manufacturers are eligible to be certificate holders.

Declarations of Conformity (DoCs)
High-Frequency Devices (HFDs) are subject to three types of DoCs, “Specification of Type,”“Confirmation of Type,” and “Authorization for Use.”5 If the manufacturer owns theappropriate test equipment, the manufacturer’s test report may be used for all DoCs. A local
Japanese company must submit a notification to their local MIC branch office to complete
this approval.
“Authorization for Use” has no marking requirements and test reports are not generally

submitted to MIC. “Specification of Type” and “Confirmation of Type” require submission oftest reports and affixing a label with the relevant approval number.
The applicable DoC process is determined by the type of equipment.
ISM products operating over 10 kHz tend to be subject to “Authorization for Use.”
Microwaves and IH cooking equipment are subject to “Confirmation of Type.”
Ultrasonic equipment, 13.56 MHz RFID, etc… are subject to “Specification of Type.”
Contact us if you are unsure about your product’s classification.
JQA is able to offer information and testing services to confirm compliance obligations for
HFDs are met. JQA can also register equipment on behalf of the local importer (with a letterof authorization). Please inquire for details.

Voluntary Extremely Low-Power Device Registration
This scheme is managed by two industry groups in Japan called JAAMA and EMCC. The ELP Mark
scheme was introduced in 2015 to combat the recent influx of low-quality products to the Japanesemarket. ELP dealers and consumers can be confident that the products they purchase will not cause
unwanted interference by checking for the ELP Mark.
A test report from a registered lab, such as JQA, is required in this scheme. After obtaining the test
report, a local Japanese company must register the ELP with JAAMA or EMCC. JQA is able to perform
this registration on behalf of the local importer after obtaining a signed and stamped letter ofauthorization.

Marking Requirements
Marking requirements for each type of equipment are detailed below.

Specified Radio Equipment
Labels must be affixed in a prominent location that is easily visible to the user. The mark’s
minimum size and format is specified in regulations. The mark may be displayed using labels
or using electronic means such as an electronic display.
A “prominent location” refers to a place on the main unit; however, in cases where this isdifficult or impractical, placing the mark in the user manual and on the product packaging isT341004

Japan Market Access – Application Guide

acceptable. Please contact JQA for more information.
For Batch Certification, the RCB must apply the labels in a prominent location after issuingcertification.
For Type Certification, the applicant generally handles printing and affixing the certification
mark. In this case, the applicant should submit Certification Mark Specifications (including
label and mark dimensions, method of affixing, and label location) when applying for
certification.
For products which contain more than one type of radio device, it is possible to obtain asingle, consolidated Type Certification Number to avoid placing multiple approval numberson the label.
The certification mark for Batch Certification and Type Certification is the following mark withthe symbol □R and the certification number.
Mark Format(See Form 7 of the Certification Ordinance)(Japanese)•

The mark size shall be such that a sign can be easily identified.

•

The material shall be one that is not susceptible to damage.
(except indicating by electromagnetic means )•The color of the mark may be chosen by the applicant. However, the markmust be easily identifiable.

•

For Batch Certification, the first 3 digits of the certification number
indicate the Registered Certification Body’s (RCB) number (013). The 4th
and/or 5th digits indicate the class of radio equipment and are specified

T341004

Test Reports
Testing requirements for Radio Law approvals range from self-test to designated lab testing.

Specified Radio Equipment
The test methods and technical standards for SREs are specified in the Ordinance Regulating
Radio Equipment and MIC Notifications. They are not harmonized with international
standards and official translations in English are not available.
MIC allows Registered Certification Bodies (RCBs) to decide whether or not to accept otherlaboratories’ test reports. JQA may be able to accept outside test data depending on thecontent, format, etc... Please contact us in advance if you would like to submit test data fromanother laboratory. In some cases, JQA may still require a verification sample (1 unit) to
confirm that the product is as described in the test report, but testing costs can be avoided.

High-Frequency Devices
The test methods for HFDs are specified in Article 46 of the Enforcing Ordinance. Testing
conditions and equipment are specified, but test lab accreditation requirements are not specified.
JQA can review your test report to ensure it is acceptable or JQA can conduct testing locally inJapan.
It may be worth noting that for non-wireless equipment such as microwaves and IH cooking
equipment, VCCI, PSE, S-mark, etc… approvals are unrelated to Radio Law approval and do not
replace or fulfill the EMC requirements for HFD under the Radio Law.
In addition to testing and test report reviews, JQA can register HFDs on behalf of a local
representative in Japan and assist in preparing the application materials to save your importer
time. Please inquire for details.

Extremely Low-Power Devices
For mandatory compliance with the Radio Law, the test lab requirements are specified in MIC
Notification 172 of 2006. Manufacturers are obligated to comply with these requirements, butthese test reports are not required to be submitted to MIC, and registration and licensing are notmandatory for ELPs.

Japan Market Access – Application Guide

Please submit the component list if it is necessary to understand the component layout diagram. It
is used as supplemental information for the Specification Sheets.

Proof of Restricted Access to the Main Unit
Radio equipment must be constructed in such a way that it cannot be easily opened. This is toprevent modifications or alterations being made that would cause the device’s specifications todiffer from those indicated in the Specification Sheets and would illegally alter the internal RF
signal generator of the device.
There are a number of ways to achieve this requirement, such as using special screws that cannot
be removed with everyday tools, or sealing the main unit, or coating the entire RF signal
generator, etc… This document should indicate how access to the device has been restricted. As aconcrete example, if special screws were used, a diagram indicating the shape of the screws(dimensions, etc…), how they are mounted, and a diagram of the construction of the main unit
would be required.

Declaration of Quality Management System
The Declaration of Quality Management System is a document to assess whether there is a quality
assurance system in place to guarantee the uniformity of mass-produced devices and theirconsistent conformity with type specifications.
If the applicant and/or factory have ISO 9001 certification, submit copies of the certificates alongwith the Declaration of Quality Management System declaring the requirements listed inAppended Table 4 of the Certification Ordinance have been fulfilled.
If the applicant has ISO 9001 certification, the factory is exempt. If the applicant does not have ISO
9001 certification, but the factory does, then submit the declaration with copies of the factory’s
certificate(s).
If neither the factory nor the applicant have ISO 9001 certification, a separate Declaration of
Quality Management System has to be constructed. Please contact JQA for further details.
Note) The relevant radio equipment must be included in the scope listed on the ISO 9001 certificate.

Certification Mark Specifications
In order to indicate compliance with the requirements specified in radio equipment regulations,the technical standard conformity mark and certification number must be displayed on theT341004

Operating Instructions“Operating Instructions” refers to instructions for conducting RF testing. It does not refer to theordinary user manual bundled with the wireless device. In many cases, the test sample used for
RF testing has special firmware installed. Such a test sample is configured so that various settings
can be controlled from a PC, etc… through a control I/O cable.
Please provide the control I/O cable, control software and relevant explanations in the "Operating
Instructions" together with the sample to ensure the required RF testing can be conducted
properly. The Japan Radio Law’s test sample requirements are the same as the test sample
requirements for EN, FCC, etc…

T341004

24 / 53

JQA2023-00335

Japan Market Access – Application Guide

Test Requirements
In order to properly perform RF testing, the test sample’s firmware must be specially altered or a
special control cable must be provided. Typically, only manufacturers are able to make theseadjustments. Please make sure the test samples are adequately prepared for RF testing prior to
submitting them to JQA.

Number of Samples
In general, two test samples are required: one sample of the completed version of the radio equipment(as it will be sold in Japan) and one sample of the equipment which has been configured for RF testing
and can be externally inspected. Specific requirements are indicated below.
1.

One unit with antenna terminal and Coaxial Cable (RF output terminal for testing)2.

One unit for interference-prevention function testing along with one support device(If the equipment in Item 1 can also communicate with the support device in Item 2, one test
sample is sufficient)3.

If it is difficult to open/close the sample, one sample which can be opened to identify thelocation of components is required.

Test Voltage
The test voltage is the rated voltage +/- 10%. However, testing can be conducted at the rated
voltage if evidence is given that even when the voltage supply is altered by +/- 10% the input
voltage to the RF circuit does not change by more than +/- 1%.
This can be proven by either supplying the specifications for the power supply, or allowing JQA to
directly measure the input voltage to the RF circuit prior to testing.
If you wish to have the voltage fluctuation measured prior to testing, please submit the following
additional information.
1. Whether or not the product has a voltage regulator
2. The rated input voltage for the RF circuit
3. The verification point to check input voltage to the RF circuit (photo or drawing)

Test Sample Operating Conditions
1.

Continuous transmission of the modulating signal
This means continuous transmission at maximum output power. For devices with multiple
transmission rate settings, it will be necessary to run continuous transmission for each ratesetting. (E.g. 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, also Packet Type, etc…)
Continuous transmission of test signals for each emission class will be conducted in theequipment’s modulating condition. (E.g. for Wireless LAN - the standard test signal PN-9, PN15, or PN-23 in ITU-T Rec.O.150, for Bluetooth - PRBS9, etc…)

2.

Continuous receiving
In order to measure the “Receiving spurious emission, etc…” continuous receiving in eachfrequency setting is required.

3.

Continuous transmission of unmodulated carrier
In order to measure the “frequency tolerance,” continuous transmission in each frequency
setting is required.

4.

For test operations 1 to 3, the frequency (channel) needs to be able to be selected.

5.

For test operations 1 to 4, all the modulation methods and transmission rates need to beable to be selected.

Note 1: For devices with frequency hopping, we need to be able to operate the equipment withhopping enabled and disabled.
Note 2: For devices with adaptive frequency hopping (AFH), we need to be able to operate theequipment in continuous transmission (modulated) with AFH enabled.
If special software needs to be used during testing, please include the name and version
