Certification Introduction

PSE certification is Japan's mandatory safety certification, which is used to prove that electrical and electronic products have passed the safety standard test of Japan Electric and Material Safety Law (DENAN Law) or international IEC standards. Japan's DENTORL Law (Electrical Device and Material Control Law) stipulates that 506 kinds of products must pass safety certification to enter the Japanese market. Among them, 165 kinds of A-type products should obtain the diamond-shaped PSE mark, and 341 kinds of B-type products should obtain the circular PSE mark.

From April 1, 2001, "Electrical Products Control Law (DENTORL)" has been officially renamed "Electrical Products Safety Law (DENAN)". Different from the control of contractual regulations in the previous regulatory system, the new system will ensure the safety of products by unofficial agencies.

Basic information of PSE certification

Is it mandatory: mandatory

Certificate Validity: For diamonds, 3-7 years, based on product. For round, no validity period, no certificate, only VOC can be issued

Factory inspection requirements: For the diamond shape, only the first factory inspection is required, and there is no annual inspection. For round shape, no factory inspection requirement

Licensee Requirements: For Diamond, Factory/Importer. For round shape, no requirement

Technical information: Voltage frequency AC 100V , 50Hz /60Hz, plug JIS 8303

Certification classification

According to Japan's "Electrical Product Safety Law" PSE certification is divided into two categories.

PSE diamond certification: Among them, there are 165 kinds of products that are easy to cause electric shock, fire and other accidents, and are classified as "specific electrical products - called Class A electrical products", such as chargers, adapters, etc.;

PSE circular certification: The remaining 341 products with less harmfulness are classified as "non-specific electrical products - called Class B electrical products", most of which are home appliances, lighting products, lithium batteries, etc.

Applicable product range

Diamond PSE

Electric wires, wiring appliances, current limiters, transformers, ballasts, electric heating appliances, mechanical appliances for electric power applications, AC electrical machinery appliances, portable generators, other AC machinery appliances, electrical conduits, small AC motors, light sources and light sources Applied mechanical appliances, batteries, etc., belong to the scope of products specified by the specific electrical appliance safety law, such as: DC power supply devices, switches and sockets, electric water heaters, power cords and plugs, other household appliance transformers (AC-AC power supply products), etc. 165 products.

Round PSE

The scope of products that fall outside the specific electrical appliance safety law, such as: electric blankets, electric steamers, electric hair irons, electric ovens, microwave ovens, hair humidifiers, refrigerators, electric mixers, electric egg cookers, electric insulation basins , hair dryers, electric humidifiers, projectors, washing machines, incandescent light bulbs, fluorescent lamps, desk lamps, decorative lamps, advertising lamps, lithium batteries and all LED bulbs and LED lamps and other 341 products.

application process

1. The customer prepares samples and documents and submits them to the testing agency

2. The laboratory of the testing institution conducts the test. If it is a PSE round, a statement letter will be issued by NTEK.

3. For PSE rhombus, factory inspection is also required

4. After passing the test and factory inspection, the issuing agency will issue the PSE diamond certificate

Application materials

1. Application submission materials: relevant application forms

2. Test preparation materials

3. CB report (including Japanese difference test)

4. Circuit diagram

5. PCB design drawings related to safety regulations

6. Specifications of transformers and coil parts

7. List of key components and their certificates

8. Japanese manual or assembly manual

9. Japanese nameplate and warning sign (including PSE sign and notified supplier name)

10. Structure data table

11. List of factory production and calibration certificate, etc. (for factory inspection)

12. Samples provided for testing: It varies according to the application standards and certification bodies. Usually, 5pcs samples are provided with CB, and 10pcs samples are provided without CB.

Certificate sample

other

Certification cycle

It varies according to the standards of the application and the certification body, usually 4-6 weeks with CB, and about 6-10 weeks without CB. (The information is complete and the sample does not need to be rectified)

Certificate validity period

Diamond PSE certificate: 3 years, 5 years, 7 years (depending on the product)

Round PSE certificate: usually self-declared by the factory or a test report issued by a third-party laboratory/certification body
