radio law certifications of Major Markets

• The above is based on the research on global Radio Laws and actual application results to short-range wireless devices as of April 2015. • The turnaround times are the periods usually taken in typical certification. Actual times will differ depending on the wireless technology used.

In certain countries, it may be possible to apply for express services to shorten the turnaround time.We can make a request to a local authority upon your request.

• R&TTE and FCC reports can be used: It is possible to obtain certification, using test reports based on R&TTE Directive or FCC.• If no local representatives are available, we can introduce a local representative proxy agent in specific countries. Please contact us individually.

Global radio law certificationsIn order to export wireless devices, the requirements of destination market's Radio Law have to be met. Not only do the regulations and standards required by each country's certification system differ, they are frequently subject to revision. Almost all the countries have mandatory certification systems in relation to Radio Law. In Japan, the devices classified as extremely low power radio station are not required to acquire certification. However, these devices are required to acquire certification in many other countries. In this situation, We have provided regulatory information and certifications of approximately 200 countries/regions, leveraging cooperative relationship we have built with global regulatory organizations. From checking the latest information on global Radio Laws and gaining knowledge on marking requirements for labels and manuals to obtaining certifications from multiple countries, we have a system in place to accurately and quickly respond to your needs.UL Japan is an accredited testing organization recognized by JAB (Japan Accreditation Board for Conformity Assessment), NVLAP (America's National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Programme) and A2LA (American Association for Laboratory Accreditation).

testing/evaluation

• Construction review: By reviewing regulatory requirements, we evaluate the product construction to confirm whether the product is ready to receive conformance test.

• Safety testing: Testing to IEC, EN and national standards• EMC(Electromagnetic Compatibility)/EMF (Electromagnetic Field) testing• Report preparation: We prepare reports and documents based on your needs, including reports for individual testing and CB certification,

TCF (Technical Construction File) for CE Marking, etc.

Issuance of certificates/ certification Marks

UL is recognized in many countries as a certification body.Examples: C-UL Mark (Canada), D Mark (Denmark), DENAN PSE Mark (Japan), PSC Mark (Japan), S Mark (Japan), UL-EU Mark (Europe), GS Mark (Germany/Europe), S Mark (Argentina), INMETRO Mark (Brazil), NOM Mark (Mexico), Australia/ New Zealand safety certification, Safety Mark (Singapore), CB Certificate/report

certification support service

cb testing and certification

UL is able to issue CB test reports and CB certificates as an IECEE recognized National Certification Body(NCB) and CB Testing Laboratory(CBTL). You can use the CB certificate for not only CE marking report but also report for UL/ cUL Mark, UL-GS Mark, D Mark and S Mark UL issues. By addressing national differences, only minimal confirmation tests are required to obtain third party certification marks of CB Scheme member countries such as CCC Mark.
