Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China (CMIIT) published the official notification [2014] No. 1 about type approval of non-independently operating wireless transmitting module on January 2, 2014. Based on this notification, SRRC recently started to accept applications of modular approval and issues certificates with 5-year validity.

If the module is “Full module” (完整的非獨立操作使用的無線電發射模組), which complies with 5 criteria, it should be type approved and labelled with CMIIT ID No..

In the product label or user’s manual of systems (end device), where such module is installed, it’s mandatory to show the statement as follows: “This equipment contains wireless transmitting module with CMIIT ID: XXXXYYZZZZ”.  For this type of modular approval, the manufacturer can use this approved module into end product without having retest or recertification of it. 

If the module is “Limited module”(限制性非獨立操作使用的無線電發射模組), it can be type approved with CMIIT ID no. including mark of “M”.

The systems (such as laptops, PCs, printers, household appliances), where such module is installed still need to be type approved again with additional testing. A new CMIIT ID no. will be issued to the approved system.
