Japan's certification for radio frequency equipment is called Radio Equipment Type Approval. The official control agency is the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC). The main certification agency is TELEC (Telecom Engineering Center) designated by MIC. There are 12 other certification agencies, such as RF Technologies/JQA/SGS/ITS/TUV/UL, so it is usually called TELEC certification. Some people also call it MIC certification, RF certification, GITEKI certification, and technical certification, which is similar to the domestic SRRC certification.

TELEC certification complies with Japan's Radio Law, and the specific test specifications follow MIC (Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) Notice No. 88. According to the requirements of Japan's Radio Law, the production, sale, and operation of wireless equipment in Japan must comply with technical regulations approved by MIC, and it is mandatory to apply for a radio equipment type approval certificate (i.e. TELEC certification).
