Chris,
Question 4 – VCCI. http://www.vcci.or.jp/vcci_e/index.html Not a government agency, no mandatory government requirements for ITE. Emissions only. No immunity. Your company must be a member of the VCCI to put the VCCI mark on a product, and VCCI members are expected to follow the process (Declaration of conformity based on testing in a VCCI registered lab) for all applicable products sold in Japan. While not a government regulation, the VCCI has done a good job of educating the consumer in Japan to look for the VCCI mark on products, so it is an aid to marketing. Ghery S. Pettit Intel Corporation _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Maxwell Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 3:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Japanese Compliance Requirements Hello group, I’ve been asked about Japanese compliance requirements. Specifically, this brings up six questions to me: 1. Is there a Japanese equivalent to EN 61326-1? Or are there no EMC regulations on Test and Measurement equipment in Japan? Or, will Japanese authorities accept EN 61326-1? 2. Is there a Japanese equivalent to EN 61010-1? Or are there no safety regulations on Test and Measurement equipment in Japen? Or, will Japanese authorities accept EN 61010-1? 3. Same as question 2 for EN 60950. 4. Same question for EN 55022 and EN55024 (ITE equipment) 5. What about power supplies? Many of our products use external AC/DC adapters. Is there a special mark that I need to look for? Here, I’m wondering if we may be OK with our test and measurement equipment; but perhaps we’ll have to take a second look at the power supplies. Or, again, will Japanese authorities accept a power supplyEN 60950 or EN 61010-1? 6. What about “Connection Approval”? We have one product which has a phone jack for a remote reset circuit (you call the product, if the phone rings 3 times, it re-boots itself). How would we go about getting connection approval? 7. If we are short on approvals, do we have to test in Japan; or do they have Memoranda of Understanding with A2LA or NVLAP? I know that I’ll have to do some digging myself; but I was hoping that the group could at least flesh out some of the requirements for me. If all else fails; does anybody know of a good website, ideally maintained by the Japanese authorities, where I could search for these answers myself?
