Japan PSE certification

Japan PSE certification

PSE certification (product safety of electrical appliances & Materials) is a market access system implemented by the Japanese government for electronic and electrical products, which is an important part of the Japanese "electrical product safety law" (referred to as "electrical safety law" Denan). On April 1, 2001, Japan revised the electricity safety law, which is managed by METI (Japan's Ministry of economy, industry and Technology). METI does not issue certificates directly, but authorizes a third-party certification body to carry out product conformity assessment tests and issue certificates.

METI authorizes Japan electrical safety and environmental technology research laboratory (jet) and Japan quality assessment agency (JQA) as qualification certification bodies (CABS) to be responsible for testing and certification of electronic and electrical products and market supervision according to regulations. In addition, TUV, UL, CQC and other organizations are also certification bodies.

According to the regulations, all controlled electronic and electrical products need to submit business declaration to the Minister of economy and industry of Japan before they are manufactured or exported to Japan, and affix the PSE logo on the products according to the regulations. According to the electricity safety law, class A and class B products should be pasted with PSE diamond and PSE round marks respectively. There are two applicable standards

Provincial decree 1: Japanese domestic standard (including EMI standard)

Provincial decree 2: J standard (excluding EMI standard) = IEC standard + Japan difference

Product range

So far, 457 kinds of products are under the control of the electrical product safety law. Among them, 116 kinds of products are easy to cause electric shock, fire and other accidents, and they are classified as "specific electrical products - class a electrical products", such as chargers and adapters; The other 341 less harmful products are classified as "non-specific electrical products - called class b electrical products", and the vast majority of household appliances, lamps and lithium batteries belong to class B.
