JAPAN / CAB 202

Any radio and telecommunication device destined for Japan must be conform to the Japanese Standards laid down in national Ordinances and Notifications. Conformance of Radio Transmitters are stipulated in the Radio law, whereas the network access (e.g. public Japanese operator Network) is prescribed in the Telecommunication Business law. For both categories, approval for Japan is required.

CTC advanced has been recognized as an RCB (Registered Certification Body) by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) since 2004.

We are one of a very limited number of foreign RCBs recognized under both laws (Radio Law (RL) and Telecommunications Business Law (TBL)). This full service is of great benefit for manufacturers of radio and telecom equipment combinations.

We can support testing and approval:

• Class 1, 2 and 3 of specified radio equipment
• All categories of the Telecommunication Business Law
• Extreme weak power
• RFID (13.56MHz)
