Description
According to the statements provided below Japanese “Radio Law”, “Telecommunications Business Law”, and “Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law” are not applicable to the Unmanaged Layer 2 Ethernet Switches manufactured by TELTONIKA NETWORKS, UAB (see the devices list below):
- Unmanaged Layer 2 Ethernet Switches don’t use any wireless technology so these devices are not classified as Radio Equipment and certification under the Japanese "Radio Law".
- Unmanaged Layer 2 Ethernet Switches are designed only to connect to local LANs, or to the public telecommunications lines facilities (e.g., public network) of telecommunications carriers (e.g., mobile communications carriers, or internet providers) through approved equipment, e.g., router, gateway or modem. Devices connected through approved equipment and not directly connected to telecommunications line facilities are beyond the Japanese “Telecommunications Business Law” scope
- Unmanaged Layer 2 Ethernet Switches don’t fall under the “Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law” specified devices categories.
Based on these claims, Unmanaged Layer 2 Ethernet Switches sold in Japan do not require testing and labeling with the Technical Conformity Mark (GITEKI Mark) and/or the PSE Mark.
A more detailed explanation of the mentioned Laws' non-applicability is provided in the attached Declaration of Non-Applicable Japanese Laws below.
