Certification Introduction:

JATE (Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment) certification is a compliance certification for telecommunications equipment. This certification is for communication equipment in Japan to ensure that the equipment complies with Japan's "Electrical Communication Business Law". All wireless products connected to public telephones or telecommunications networks must apply for JATE certification. Simply put, JATE certification is Japan's network access certification.

JATE certification is a mandatory certification for Japanese public network telecommunication equipment. Japan's Ministry of Public Administration and Internal Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications (MPHPT) stipulates in Japan's Telecommunications Business Law that Japanese telecommunications equipment implements compulsory certification. The Telecommunications Business Act, established in 1985, stipulates in Article 68 that MPHPT authorizes qualified agencies to implement qualified accreditation of technical conditions.

MPHPT authorizes JATE (Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment) as a qualified agency to carry out accreditation, so we are used to calling Japanese telecommunications equipment certification as JATE certification. JATE approval requires the certification mark to be affixed on the product, and the certification mark uses the serial number. Approved products, applicants, products, certification numbers and other relevant information will be announced in the government gazette and JATE's website.

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

JATE Certification Mark

Basic information of JATE certification:

• Is it mandatory: mandatory certification

• Certificate validity period: no validity period

• Factory inspection requirements: no requirements

• Licensee Requirements: No Requirements

• Technical Information: Voltage Frequency AC 100V/200V , 50Hz /60Hz, Plug JIS 8303

The differences between JATE and TELEC certification are:

The scope of control is different: JATE certification is for communication equipment, TELEC certification is for radio equipment;

The test content is different: JATE certification test signaling interaction test, TELEC certification is generally radio frequency test;

The label characters are different: those with 'T' characters are JATE certification, and those with 'R' characters 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 (related regulations of terminal equipment) 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 telecommunication equipment can meet certain technical requirements, which are formulated by telecom operators authorized by MPHPT.

Applicable Product Range:

Communication 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 telecommunication equipment.
