GQI was authorized by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) to undertake testing service for the Japan Compulsory Certification (PSE mark) since 2009. In the early of 2015, GQI successfully passed the re-assessment and expanded the authorization scope. GQI is now authorized to carry out testing for PSE certification on 9 product categories of specific electrical appliances and materials: Cables and Cords, Fuses, Wiring Devices, Current Limiters, Transformers and Ballasts, Electric Heating Appliance, Electric Motor-operated or Magnetically Driven Appliances, and Electronic Appliances.

PSE is the English abbreviation of “Product Safety of Electrical Appliance & Materials”. 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. To enter the Japanese market, these products must be certified by a third party authorized by the Japanese Ministry of Economic, Trade and Industry (METI), and marked with the diamond PSE mark.
