NCC Certification

The regulation in Taiwan for products with wireless technology are as strict as in most other regions. All telecommunications products and other products with radio and wireless technology must conform to the administrative and technical requirements of Taiwan and need to be approved before they can enter the market legally. The minimum requirement for these products is the NCC Certification.

The regulations for this was published by the Taiwan’s National Communications Commission. They are responsible for promoting a fair competition in the communications industry, consumer protection, data protection compliance and for developing universal telecommunications services across the country.

Products that are mandatory to apply for the NCC Type Approval are mainly telecommunication devices that are using the mobile communications standards; Global Mobile Radio Systems (GMS), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Long Term Evolution (LTE), as well as wireless devices (e.g. keyboards, mice) and products with Bluetooth functions. Devices used for radio frequency identification (RFID) are also affected.

NCC Certification Process:

The NCC certification process requires product testing in Taiwan. The NCC product test can only be performed by recognized test laboratories that have been accredited by Taiwan’s National Communications Commission. In order to apply for the NCC Certification, the successful completion with a positive result of the NCC product test is necessary. After the test report has been received, the application documents will be submitted to a certification body, which must also be recognized by the National Communication Commission.

Once you have passed the NCC Certification and the NCC Type Approval has been received, it is mandatory to mark the NCC logo together with the product model number on the device.

Importing devices without NCC Type Approval, will result in a fine of between 30,000 and 300,000 Taiwan dollars.
