The Feature of VCCI
6
Constitution A not-for-profit membership organization governed by
internal council
Scheme to underpin VCCI operations 1. Registration of members’ measurement facilities used for
conformity assessment against VCCI requirements for
upper limits of EMI emission
2. Members’ own declaration of conformity in the form of
conformity verification report filed to VCCI before the
shipment of the product bearing the VCCI mark
3. Market sampling test to maintain the confidence in the
declared conformity symbolized by the VCCI mark affixed on
the product

Test lab to be used for VCCI conformance test must be registered to VCCI prior to starting a VCCI conformance process
Two routes are available for technical assessment of the laboratory to be registered. One is certification by VCCI and the other is laboratory accreditation (ISO 17025 + VCCI technical rules) by VLAC or JAB.
In April 2007 VCCI extended the accreditation scheme to NVLAP, A2LA and ACLASS that officially include VCCI rules, with the exchange of letters under Japan-US telecom MRA.
Choice of certification or accreditation is a member-option. VLAC,JAB :Accreditation Bodies in Japan
NVLAP,A2LA,ACLASS : Accreditation Bodies in US

Exchange of letters on the control of EMI from ITE came
into effect under Japan-US telecom MRA in February,
2007.
ITE imported to US from Japan:
FCC accepts DOC with test report issued by testing
labs accredited by Japanese accreditation bodies.
Affixing the FCC mark on the products allowed
ITE imported to Japan from US:
VCCI accepts test report issued by US testing
labs accredited by US accreditation bodies. Affixing
the VCCI mark on the products allowed
Accreditation bodies to continuously monitor competence
of testing labs

Secure equal market access from the
other
VCCI must sincerely accept test reports from US
as US accepts DoC from Japan.
Keep level of laboratory accreditation
on parity
The equivalence is secured as the accreditation
bodies of the two countries are both members of
APLAC MRA.
Points to nurture reciprocity

Merits of the Exchange of Letters in MRA
20
1. For testing laboratories Once accredited by a Japanese accreditation body a
laboratory -
i. can enjoy the status of accredited laboratory both of
VCCI and FCC
ii. can enjoy fast-track facility registration at VCCI
(shortened to 1 week from usual 3 months)
iii. can be exempted from submission of measurement
data and payment of registration fees to VCCI
2. For Japanese ITE manufacturers i. Can enjoy one-stop testing at a laboratory in
Japanese passable both in Japan and US
ii. Can shoot troubles, when occurred, in Japan

Registration of accredited laboratory
A laboratory accredited by a accreditation body meeting
requirements of MRA can register its measurement
facilities to VCCI with examination exempted
A single registration number is collectively assigned to
multiple measurement facilities listed in the scope of a
certificate of accreditation granted based on Article 15
on and after April 1, 2012
Facility registration based on Article 15 is possible via a
web site from July 2012.

3. The number of VCCI members is approximately 1,200
which is almost equally divided by companies in Japan
and overseas
4. VCCI and FCC came to an agreement to mutually accept
test reports issued by accredited laboratories of the other
country in February 2007 in the framework of Japan-US
telecommunication MRA
5. Registration of accredited laboratories is making smooth
progress in the both countries:
Japan :192 facilities + 34 laboratories
US :170 facilities + 74 laboratories
