Testing by local authority/agent may not be required in countries that accept test reports such as;
U.S. FCC and Europe R&TTE, RE for wireless,
CB report, IEC/ EN report for safety, and
CB report, EN, CNS report for EMC.
Application documentsDocuments required for certification application differ by countries. However, the following documents are generally required. In most cases, all the documents need to be available in English.
•Application form •Product specification•Circuit diagram •Antenna specification (for wireless devices) •Labelling diagram •Declaration (for proxy) •Block diagram •Par ts list •Component layout plan (internal photos) •Instruction manual•Product photos, etc.

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).Our test data are accepted in many markets including North America and Europe.
We also provide below services to meet your specific certification needs.
Certification under Japanese Radio Law
UL Japan is recognized as a “Registered Certification Body” under the Radio Law by the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications. As such, we are able to provide one-stop service from testing to certification, covering Technical Regulations Conformity Certification and Attestation of the Construction Design to specified wireless equipment of unlicensed, blanket licensed and other facilities.
Certification under Japanese Telecommunications Business Act

We provide a complete service from testing to certification, covering Technical Standards Conformity Approval and Certification of Type in accordance with the Article 4 Item 1 (Terminal equipment for communications) and Item 2 (Other terminal equipment) of the Rules for Technical Standards Conformity Approval for terminal equipment.
Conformity Assessment/Certification for R&TTE/RE Directive
As we are registered as a Notified Body under the R&TTE/RE Directive, the testing data we produce under the Directive are accepted by the EU member countries and we can issue a certificate of EU type examination . Thus we can help your product enter Europe through our comprehensive services including testing, TCF creation and notification to global radio regulatory agencies.
North America TCB Services
UL Verification Services and UL Japan are recognized as Telecommunication Certification Body (TCB) to issue approval to telecommunication device on behalf of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). We enable you to obtain the FCC and Industry Canada(IC) certifications in a shorter period of time.
Seminars on Global Wireless Regulations
In response to our clients' requests, we conduct individual seminars relating to regulations and application procedures that differ from country to country (e.g. USA/Europe) as well as specific testing requirements. We also cover topics and important points from country specific type approval applications, based on our extended experience in the business.
Each accreditation symbol has a different scope, therefore refer to the following web site for detailed accreditation scope. http://japan.ul.com/resources/emc_accredited/Not all testing is covered by each of the accreditations listed.Not all calibration services offered are covered by the A2LA accreditation scope.Please see UL Japan's accreditation scopes at http://japan.ul.com/resources/emc_accredited

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 June 2017. • 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.
• RE and FCC reports can be used: It is possible to obtain certification, using test reports based on RE 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 Safety/EMC Certifications While the regulations for product safety and EMC differ in every country and region around the world, UL has a system in place to support you from specifying essential standards and requirements and conducting necessary tests and assessments to providing certifications. By making full use of UL's global network, we are able to provide the certificates and certification marks you need in a very efficient manner. We also can help you gain energy efficiency certification. Please contact us to find out more.
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
We can even help you obtain certificates and marks not listed above. We formulate a certification plan, fill out the necessary forms, coordinate sample preparation, prepare necessary documents for obtaining certification and work as liaison to relevant certification bodies, thus enabling you to obtain the certification marks and certificates you want.
Examples: CCC Mark (China), KC Mark (Korea), BSMI Mark (Taiwan), EAC Mark (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kirghiz)
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. Please check UL Japan's recognition scope for CB Scheme in the table on the right.
