Introduction of PSE Certification 

PSE Certification (named the Applicability Certification in Japan) is the compulsory market access requirements for the electrical products in Japan. The Safety Law of Electrical Appliance & Materials, divides the electrical products into 2 groups, “specific electrical appliance & materials” and” non-specific electrical appliance & materials”. The group of “specific electrical appliance & materials” covers 116 products and the group of “non-specific electrical appliance & materials” covers 341 products.

 

Specific Electrical Appliance & Materials

 

 

To enter the Japanese market, the products belonging to “specific electrical appliance & materials” must be certified by a third party authorized by the Japanese Ministry of Economic, Trade and Industry (METI), affixed a diamond PSE mark.

 

Non-Specific Electrical Appliance & Materials

 

 

To enter the Japanese market, the products belonging to “non-specific electrical appliance & materials” need to be either self-tested or tested by a third party and have a self-declaration of compliance with The Safety Law of Electrical Appliance & Materials (DENAN).  According to the DENAN Regulation, the manufacturers are obliged to keep the testing report and the proof, and the certified product(s) should be marked with the round PSE certification label.
