VCCI is a voluntary organization in that it is self-policing the ITE industry, and is not mandatory in a legal sense (you can't be dragged into court for non-compliance), BUT the Japanese consumers are aware of the mark and look for it.
On the other side the failure to comply when you have attached the mark can result in the details being published in the popular press -- then try to sell ANYTHING there. John Mowbray, P. Eng.

Hi All, Just a basic question here about VCCI, hopefully it hasn't been done recently. In the acronym VCCI, (Voluntary Control Council for Interference) the first word is 'Voluntary.' I have assumed that VCCI is a defacto standard in spite of being called 'Voluntary,' but I don't know how to prove it - and of course I could be wrong. Does anyone know of a specific document or clause or line of argument that clearly spells out whether or not VCCI is a requirement to sell ITE products in Japan? Thanks in advance for comments.
