Certification introduction

VCCI is Japan's electromagnetic compatibility certification mark and is managed by the Japan Electromagnetic Interference Control Committee (Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Information Technology Equipment). VCCI certification is not mandatory, but information technology products sold in Japan are generally required to undergo VCCI certification. Manufacturers should first apply to become members of VCCI before they can use the VCCI logo. In order to obtain VCCI approval, the provided EMI test report must be issued by a VCCI registered and accredited testing agency. Japan currently has no immunity standards.

The necessity of VCCI certification

Although VCCI certification is not mandatory, it is used by many companies to prove the quality of products. Therefore, the VCCO certification is only theoretically "voluntary", and market pressure has led to its actual implementation.
