About Regulation of the Radio Act of Japan
(Technical Regulations Conformity Certification)

To use ZigBee/IEEE802.15.4 Module (wireless device) in Japan, a certification (Technical Regulations Conformity Certification) according to the Radio Act of Japan is required.

Tokyo Cosmos Electric provides TOCOS Wireless Engine as a module already certified with Technical Regulations Conformity Certification. We inspect 100% products for the radio wave performance at the time of shipping and guarantee as a manufacturer that all the products are compliant with the law.

Among the wireless modules made overseas or those requiring soldering for, e.g. surface mount, there are some cases where Technical Regulations Conformity Certification (certificate of technical standard or factory design certificate) for Japan has not been obtained (or cannot be obtained as a wireless module). There are also wireless modules with high output to such a degree that is not permitted in Japan. Please note that using those wireless modules in Japan can be considered illegal even if it is just for an evaluation purpose unless it is used in a shield room or the like. In addition, some wireless modules may get out of the range of certification if the firmware is rewritten. All of our products are compliant with Technical Regulations Conformity Certification, so please rest assured that you can use them without violating any compliance. Also see Considerations about the Radio Act of Japan.
