74 From the certification construction design, when a new construction design is certified concerning changing the antenna model, configuration or gain only, the results of an evaluation from the viewpoint of the system and technology for specific wireless equipment models where registration verification organization could apply identical characters, etc. to the original certified construction design were that the manner of use of specific wireless devices in recent years was taken into account and these models increased. Before Revisions After Revisions Label Label New certification according to changes to construction design Construction Design A (For Company A: Antenna type a) Antenna changes due to embedding to new models Construction Design B (For Company B: Antenna type b) 001WWAB Different Number 001WWAB New certification according to changes to construction design Construction Design A (For Company A: Antenna type a) Construction Design B (For Company B: Antenna type b) 001WWAB001 Antenna changes due to embedding to new models Same Number 001WWAB001 3G cell phone terminal and BWA terminal assumed to have universal format built into laptop PC and other products for use. When the antenna is changed due to model changes of built-in products, new certifications must be obtained, but management of construction design verification numbers is a burden for the certification handler. When the construction design is newly certified with respect to changes to the antenna model, configuration and gain only, the registration verification organization shall develop rules where identical characters, etc. can be applied to said certified construction design. 73

76 Overview Revisions are made so that labels (hereafter Technical Conformance Mark) stating that they conform to technical standards applied to locations where they are easy to see on specific wireless equipment and terminal devices up to now (hereafter Specific Wireless Equipment, etc.) can be recorded electronically to specific wireless equipment, etc. and to enable labeling to said image screen (e-label) based on the Information Telecommunication Committee Report Matters Related to Technical Conditions and Electrical Telecommunication Accidents, etc. with IP Phone Terminals, etc. (July 28, 2009) and Existence of Comprehensive Communications and Broadcasting Legal Structure (August 26, 2009). Current State of Technical Conformance Mark Cell phone terminals have conformance label (technical conformance mark, Bluetooth Logo, etc.) for relevant technical standards affixed to battery pack housing Compactness, multifunction and complexity have advanced rapidly with cell phone terminals and other communication devices, leading to a lack of space for technical conformance marks. Introduction of e-label The lack of space for applying technical conformance marks is eliminated by introducing e-labels. Easier to check labels than in places where current technical conformance marks are applied. Future Schedule Opinions are being solicited until March 11 then publication and implementation will commence in April. 75
