JATE (Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment) is a major registered certification body for technical conformity of telecommunications equipment in Japan. Communications equipment connected to telecommunications networks requires certification of conformity with technical regulations. JATE certification is mandatory and is issued by a registered certification body recognized by MIC. Japan's Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications (MPHPT) requires mandatory certification of telecommunications equipment under the Telecommunications Business Act.
I. Certification Overview
JATE (Japan Approvals Institute for Telecommunications Equipment) is a major registered certification body for technical conformity of telecommunications equipment in Japan. Communications equipment connected to telecommunications networks requires certification of conformity with technical regulations. JATE certification is mandatory and is issued by a registered certification body recognized by MIC. Japan's Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications (MPHPT) requires mandatory certification of telecommunications equipment under the Telecommunications Business Act.
II. Certification Categories
There are two types of JATE certification:
1. Technical Conditions Compliance Certification
◆ Technical Conditions Compliance Certification includes type approval and individual equipment certification. It ensures that telephone network equipment, radio paging equipment, ISDN equipment and leased-line equipment meet the technical requirements specified by MPHPT in the terminal equipment regulations.
2. Technical Requirements Compliance Certification
◆ Technical Requirements Compliance Certification includes type approval and individual equipment certification. It ensures that radio paging equipment, leased-line equipment and other telecommunications equipment meet technical requirements established by telecommunications operators authorized by MPHPT.
