PSE certification support

What is PSE certification?

PSE certification is a safety standard (Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Act) that is required to be obtained and displayed for the sale and distribution of electrical products in Japan. The "PSE mark" must be displayed on the product to prove that the product meets Japan's strict technical standards and to indicate that it is safe.

Classification of electrical products subject to the PSE system

Electrical products are broadly classified into two categories based on their level of hazard.

• ◆ Specified electrical appliances (diamond-shaped PSE)

  • Products that pose a particularly high risk of danger (such as electric shock or fire) in factories and homes.

  • A rigorous conformity inspection by a third-party organization is mandatory.

• ◆ Electrical appliances other than specified electrical appliances (round PSE type)

  • General electrical appliances (excluding specified electrical products).

  • The labeling can be done through self-inspection by the business operator and preparation of documentation.

Points to note when implementing PSE compliance (common problems)

The process of displaying the PSE mark involves many practical steps, as outlined below.

• Accurate determination of product classification

• Verification of compliance with technical standards (testing and design checks)

• Storage of technical documents and test results (mandated by law)

• Checking the correct content and method of display.

• Conformity inspection at a registered inspection body (in the case of diamond-shaped PSE)

Proceeding without sufficient knowledge or preparation can lead to major problems such as the need for additional testing or design modifications, or significant delays in the start of sales.
