Is a VCCI member able to determine the classification of ITE (Class A and B) arbitrarily? Is there such a case that a member is instructed by VCCI to change the classification at the time of conformity verification report filing?

VCCI members are to determine the class of ITE to file to VCCI based on Article 6 Classification of ITE, RULES FOR VOLUNTARY CONTROL MEASURES. Select Class B in principle for ITE designed and sold for use in home. ITE operable in connection with Class B personal computers can be classified as a Class A equipment if it is not meant to be used in home environment.

For portable devices powered by built-in batteries, when usage is limited to facilities such as museums or art galleries, should they be classified as Class A or Class B?

If usage is limited to non-residential areas—such as public facilities or commercial areas—, the risk of interference with TVs, radios, or other wireless equipment is considered minimal. Therefore, Class B does not need to be applied. Devices used exclusively within museums or art galleries can be registered as Class A.
