Japanese MIC Terminal Device Certification
- Overview
When connecting terminal devices such as telephones, fax machines, or modems to the telecommunications operator's network (telecommunications line equipment) and using them, the user's telecommunications operator connection should be checked in principle, and the terminal device must be confirmed to comply with technical standards based on telecommunications commercial law.
However, if a device with instructions (technical applicability marks) specified by the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications is obtained, such as a certificate of compliance with technical standards from a registration and accreditation agency, the user of the terminal should be able to connect and use the device without the need for connection checks by the telecommunications operator (see figure below). (Article 69 of the Telecommunications Commercial Law)
*Technical standards are defined in accordance with Article 52 (2) of the Telecommunications Commercial Law in the 'Terminal Equipment Regulations' to ensure the following matters.
(I) Do not damage telecommunications line facilities or impair their functionality.
(II) Please do not disturb other users using telecommunications line facilities.
(III) Ensure clear division of responsibilities between the telecommunications line equipment installed by telecommunications operators and the terminal equipment connected to users.
2. Standard Certification System of Telecommunications Business Law
(1) Certificate of Compliance with Technical Standards (Article 53 of the Telecommunications Commercial Law)
For the certification of technical standard consistency, personnel registered by the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications (registration certification bodies) determine whether each terminal device complies with technical standards based on the telecommunications business law of each terminal device. This is a system.
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, registration and authentication institutions will authenticate each terminal device after inspection.
The technical applicability mark is affixed to terminal devices that have been certified by a registered certification body.
Anyone can apply for technical standard compliance certification from a registered certification body.
(2) Design certification (Article 56 of the Telecommunications Business Law)
Design certification refers to the quality control methods (confirmation methods) used in the design and manufacturing stages to determine whether terminal equipment meets technical standards, and whether registration and certification agencies determine suitability. This is an authentication system.
Because it is designed for terminal devices rather than the terminal devices themselves, the actual terminal devices are manufactured after authentication.
After the person who has obtained design certification (certified distributor) fulfills the design qualification obligation stipulated in the Telecommunications Business Law, a technical applicability mark will be affixed to the manufactured terminal equipment.
The contractor responsible for manufacturing, selling, importing, repairing, inspecting, and processing terminal devices can submit a design certification application to a registered accreditation agency.
(3) Self confirmation of technical standards (Article 63 of the Telecommunications Business Law)
The self confirmation of technical standard compliance refers to the manufacturer or importer of terminal equipment (special terminal equipment) designated according to the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, which is unlikely to seriously interfere with the communication of other users. It is necessary to confirm that the equipment design complies with the technical standards based on the Telecommunications Business Law and ensure that any specific terminal equipment based on this design complies with the design. This is a system that can only be executed when it is considered possible.
After confirming and submitting a notification to the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications that the manufacturer or importer (reporter) has fulfilled the design qualification obligations stipulated in the Telecommunications Business Law, a technical applicability mark will be affixed to the manufactured terminal equipment. This will be.
Only manufacturers or importers of specific terminal devices may perform self confirmation of technical standard compliance.
3. Standard Certification System Based on MRA (Mutual Recognition Agreement)
MRA is a bilateral agreement that allows the country to conduct equipment certification (inspection/confirmation of equipment compliance with technical requirements) in its own country/region. The purpose of MRA is to promote the export and import of telecommunications equipment and electrical supplies overseas, alleviate the burden on companies, and facilitate bilateral trade.
So far, MRA agreements have been reached with the European Community (EC) (effective January 2002), Singapore (effective November 2002), and the United States (effective January 2008). It is.
According to MRA regulations, foreign registered qualification assessment agencies designated and registered by foreign designated institutions can provide technical standard qualification certificates and design certifications to Japan.

4. Target terminal device
- (1) Analog telephone equipment (telephone equipment (telecommunications line equipment used for telecommunications services, mainly for telecommunications services aimed at voice transmission and exchange). In the connection with terminal devices or self operated telecommunications equipment, analog signal input and output) or mobile telephone devices (telephone devices connected to terminal devices or private telecommunications equipment), telephones, private branch exchange facilities, key telephones, modems, fax machines, and other terminal devices and communications notified separately by the Minister of the Interior (excluding the contents listed in (3))
- (2) Internet Protocol telephone equipment (telephone equipment (telephone number rules (Ministry of the Interior Communication Regulations, Law No. 4)) refers to telephones, connected private branch exchanges, key telephone equipment, code conversion equipment (Internet Protocol) terminal equipment or dedicated telecommunications equipment), and terminal equipment that performs call control for fax and other calls.
- (3) Internet protocol mobile phone equipment (mobile phone equipment (limited to the equipment providing voice transmission services by using voice transmission mobile phone numbers listed in Schedule 4 of the Rules for Telecommunication Numbers)). Terminal devices that use Internet Protocol to connect to terminal devices or self operated telecommunications equipment
- （4) Radio paging equipment (telecommunications line equipment used for telecommunications services, intended for telecommunications services intended to call users (including accompanying reports) by radio) connected to terminal devices
- (5) Integrated digital communication equipment (telecommunications line equipment used for telecommunications services, mainly integrating code, voice, and other sound or image at a digital signal transmission rate of 64 kbps). Terminal devices connected to telecommunications services for this purpose are used for transmission and exchange

*The specific terminal devices that require self confirmation of technical standard compliance are currently the same as the terminal devices that require technical standard compliance certification and design certification.
*The regulations on terminal devices and the regulations on certification of technical standards for terminal devices have been revised, and technical standards related to the use of 0AB to J Internet Protocol telephone terminals have been added since April 1, 2011. In addition, the function of sending emergency calls has been added to various terminals used for calling. In addition, 'Internet Protocol Telephone Terminal' has been added to those certified by technical standards and terminal equipment. For details, please refer to the following text.
