Is VCCI certification compulsory in Japan?

1.The Definition of VCCI Certification
VCCI is Japan’s electromagnetic compatibility certification mark. It is managed by the Japan Control Council Information Technology Equipment. VCCI certification is non-mandatory and entirely based on voluntary principles, but is used by many companies to prove the quality of products. Therefore, VCCI certification is only “voluntary” in theory, and market pressure makes it practical. Manufacturers should first apply to become a member of VCCI before they can use the VCCI logo. In order to be accredited by VCCI , the provided EMI test report must be issued by a VCCI-registered accredited testing agency. Japan does not currently have standards for immunity.
2.Certified product range:
Japan’s VCCI certification is specifically aimed at the electromagnetic emission control of IT equipment. This certification belongs to the EMC certification of products, which is different from the certification systems in other countries that apply to various products. In short, IT related products. That is to say, those with USB interface and those with transmission function need to be certified by VCCI.
