Hi Gary, I believe that we are discussing very different processes. Our industrial battery chargers fall under a "compulsory" category in Japan. We started with a long detailed review of all of the equipment in the factory, leading to a factory inspection, and finally, full EMC emissions testing in-country. The whole thing was very slow, and frustrating, with a lot of back-and -forth discussion.
Technical communication was not possible with technical staff due to language restraints. All discussion was possible with administrative staff only, who passed the information to the engineers. Answers to questions were sent back through the administration staff, adding to delays. Hmmm, do I sound unhappy? ; ) Best Regards, Brian C. ________________________________ Brian Ceresney Regulatory Lead Delta-Q Technologies Corp.

One joins with VCCI as an associate(?) or something and they will then take reports from you, but the labs VCCI registration numbers need to be included. I sent the data and really overnight I had notice that they received it and I was on my way. (presuming this was data within the last 6 months, nobody will take really old data of a year or more) While I found it annoying that I would have to pay to be part of a "voluntary" program I suppose they have to pay the data entry folks, I found the process smooth and seamless. But it has been a few years, and we were talking about ITE equipment without intentional transmitters etc. So things may have morphed. Korean on the other hand - I just don't have anything nice to say about their process and test voltage restrictions.

I suspect that there are other such countries as well. Also, be prepared for a long wait in Korea and Japan, while the testing is done, and results reported. It can take months, and the approvals are not inexpensive. Best Regards, Brian Ceresney ________________________________ Brian Ceresney Regulatory Lead Delta-Q Technologies Corp.
