Japan JATE certification introduction
JATE (Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment) certification is a telecommunications equipment compliance certification. This certification is for communications equipment in Japan, ensuring that the equipment meets the Japanese "Electric Communications Business Law". All wireless products connected to public phones or telecommunications networks must apply for JATE certification. In simple terms, JATE certification is a Japanese access certification.

JATE certification is a compulsory certification for Japanese public network telecommunications equipment. The Japanese Ministry of Public Administration and Interior, Post and Telecommunications (MPHPT) stipulates in the Japanese Telecommunications Business Law that compulsory certification of Japanese telecommunications equipment is implemented. Telecommunications commercial law was established in 1985, and Article 68 states that MPHPT authorizes qualified agencies to implement the qualification of technical conditions.

MPHPT authorizes JATE (Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment) as a qualified agency to implement qualification accreditation, so we are accustomed to calling Japan Telecom Equipment Certification the JATE certification. JATE approval requires the certification mark to be affixed to the product, and the certification mark uses the serial number. Approved products, applicants, products, certification numbers and other relevant information will be announced on the government bulletin and JATE's website.

Generally speaking, telecommunications products entering the Japanese market must meet the testing requirements of Japan's Telecommunications Law (JATE certification) and Radio Waves Law (TELEC certification).

JATE certification basic information
Whether mandatory: compulsory certification
Certificate validity period: no validity period
Factory inspection requirements: no requirements
Certificate holder requirements: no requirements

The differences between JATE and TELEC certification are:
Different control scopes: JATE certification for communication equipment, TELEC certification for radio equipment;
Test content is different: JATE certification test signaling interactive test, TELEC certification is generally radio frequency testing;
The label characters are different: those with a 'T' character are JATE certification, those with a 'R' character are TELEC certification, as shown in the figure:

Certification classification
There are two types of JATE certification:
1. Technical Conditions Compliance Certification
Technical condition compliance certification includes type approval and stand-alone certification. Technical condition compliance certification ensures that telephone network equipment, wireless calling equipment, ISDN equipment, leased line equipment, etc. can meet the technical requirements (terminal equipment related regulations) formulated by MPHPT.
2. Technical Requirements Compliance Certification
Technical requirements compliance certification includes type approval and stand-alone certification. Technical requirements compliance certification ensures that wireless calling equipment, leased line equipment, and other telecommunications equipment can meet certain technical requirements, which are formulated by telecommunications operators authorized by MPHPT.
Applicable product range
Communications equipment in Japan today requires JATE certification, such as: telephone network equipment, wireless calling equipment, ISDN equipment, leased line equipment, wireless calling equipment, leased line equipment and other telecommunications equipment.
