Summary of EMC VCCI Information Technology Equipment Testing
The VCCI rules and standards will apply to ITE placed in the Japanese market.
Radio disturbances produced by ITE equipment can interfere with radio communication services. The ITE equipment can also hinder electronic and electrical devices. The following types of equipment are generally excluded from the rules.
- ITE that is subject to other standards or laws equivalent in objective to these of the Japanese standards.
- ITE in a telecommunication center. I.e., equipment in buildings controlled by telecommunication common carriers.
- Control units are designed to be used in industrial plants where the data processing function is a secondary purpose.
- Testing and measuring instruments are designed to be used for industrial, scientific, and medical purposes where data processing function is a secondary purpose.
- ITE whose power consumption is 6 nW or less.
Information Technology Equipment, ITE, is defined as equipment with a rated power supply not exceeding 600 V. The primary purpose of this equipment is for: entry, storage, display, retrieval, transmission, processing, switching, or control of data and telecommunications. The equipment may be single or a combination of any of the mentioned uses above.
A telecommunication port is to be connected to an electric telecommunication network, a local area network, and other similar networks. The ports to connect interface cables for the interconnection of the internal components in a system are not included.
Information technology equipment is classified into two categories. Class A ITE and Class B ITE are made clear below.
Class A ITE: is a category of equipment that satisfies the Class A ITE disturbance limits but not Class B disturbances.
Class B ITE: This type of class satisfies Class B ITE disturbance levels. The equipment is generally used in a domestic setting. This may include any of the following:
- Equipment with no fixed place of use. An example would include portable equipment powered by built-in batteries.
- Telecommunication terminal equipment powered from a telecommunication network.
- Personal computers or portable word processors, and auxiliary connected equipment.
- Facsimile equipment.
Scope of VCCI V-2 Testing of ITE
The VCCI test starts by making a registration of product conformity of the applicable ITE to VCCI. This is done before placing the ITE into the market based on verification. When any changes occur, changes are noted immediately.
Upon receipt of the registration of product conformity, the VCCI will issue a “Registration Acknowledgement”. The ITE is then ready to be placed on the market.
