Any one can be a member and there are two classes; Member
manufacturers and Member test facilities. VCCI collects fees from both of
us. From the manufacturer's side the fee's are based upon the anticipated
number of submittals per year. The payment is billed once a year, but then
there are no individual filling fees. They review your test report and
accept the data and return a stamped copy to you. At that point you can
apply their logo, they send you camera ready artwork of the logo and the
required Japanese text.
There is one other little "gotcha". Even though you are a
manufacturing member, the data you submit has to come from the other type of
member, the test facility. They are required to have VCCI audits and they
also pay a yearly fee. You will need to get the "C" and "R" numbers which
identify their conducted and radiated test sites. You'll also need to have a
report number from them and provide a drawing of the cable routing, along
with the description of the cables. E.G.. 3 meter, round shielded, RS232
cable, or whatever.
So VCCI is in effect double dipping. Some from me and some from
you. That is why I maintain them to be the most expensive voluntary
organization that I have ever seen.

Subject: Re: VCCI application Membership required??
Can anyone apply for VCCI registration. I thought
membership was required prior to sending in
an application.
