What is Technical Standards Compliance Certification (Giteki)?
峰光電子
"Technical Standards Conformity Certification," commonly known as "Giteki," refers to the "government approval" necessary for safely using wireless devices (such as smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, transceivers, etc.) in Japan without affecting other communications.
To put it simply...
For example, products that use wireless technology emit "radio waves." If these radio waves are too strong or the frequency is incorrect, there is a risk of adversely affecting devices like televisions or emergency radios.
Therefore, in Japan, only products that have been certified to comply with regulations regarding radio wave emissions can be used, and this certification is indicated by the Giteki mark.
■ Where can you find the Giteki mark?
The Giteki mark can be displayed on the product itself or in the settings screen, and products with this mark are legally usable wireless devices in Japan.
■ What happens if you use a product without Giteki?
Using devices that have not received Giteki certification in Japan may result in a violation of the Radio Law. For instance, smartphones or transceivers purchased overseas often lack the Giteki mark, and using them in Japan can be illegal, so caution is advised.
