The standard applies to low-power business voice communication devices. Typical use cases include push-to-talk handsets and small in-plant voice systems for operational communications in factories, warehouses, and event management.

Frequency and Power

  • Antenna power: ≤ 1 mW (conducted at the antenna terminal; not ERP/EIRP)

  • Frequency range: defined within Japan’s Radio Law framework

Certification and Labeling

Devices must undergo conformity assessment by a Registered Certification Body (RCB) under Japan’s Radio Law and must display the Giteki mark with the assigned certification number.
