VCCI will now be accepting reports tested to the new upper limits to 6 GHz. This will begin on February 1, 2010. If you require VCCI for selling in Japan we can assist you with the new regulations. The limit is based on the following conditions:
The highest internal source of an EUT is defined as the highest frequency generated or used within the EUT or on which the EUT operates or tunes.
- If the highest frequency of the internal sources of the EUT is less than 108 MHz, the measurement shall only be made up to 1 GHz.
- If the highest frequency of the internal sources of the EUT is between 108 MHz and 500 MHz, the measurement shall only be made up to 2 GHz.
- If the highest frequency of the internal sources of the EUT is between 500 MHz and 1 GHz, the measurement shall only be made up to 5 GHz.
- If the highest frequency of the internal sources of the EUT is above 1 GHz, the measurement shall be made up to 5 times the highest frequency or 6 GHz, whichever is less.
Korea has changed policy on 'Product Family' approvals. RRA will no longer accept Product Family and/or Product Series test reports and submittal. This means that even the slightest change in circuitry or design or even the case of a depopulated board will require a complete test and separate report and submittal. For instance, all HDD, SSD, even Flash drive manufacturers are required to test and submit each model, even in the case of capacity difference.
This may be a wrench in the gears for now and if you are requiring Product Series or Product Family approval we would like to offer a reduced rate for testing a series or family of products. We work with you to get the regulatory approval process completed. Contact us for any needs you may have or questions.
