What is PSE certification? What are the product categories of PSE certification?

Today, I will tell you what PSE certification is? What are the product categories of PSE certification? Interested friends, come and have a look!

PSE certification is a mandatory safety certification for electrical appliances in Japan and a mandatory market access system for electrical appliances in Japan. Depending on the product, PSE certification is divided into "specific electrical appliances" and "non-specific electrical appliances". The former has a diamond-shaped PSE logo on the nameplate, while the latter has a round PSE logo on the nameplate. The PSE certification fees for different categories of products are different.

About PSE Certification

Japan's DENTORL Law (Electrical Devices and Materials Control Law) stipulates that 498 products must pass safety certification to enter the Japanese market. Among them, 165 Class A products should obtain the diamond-shaped PSE mark, and 333 Class B products should obtain the circular PSE mark.

PSE certified product categories

1. The categories of Japan's PSE specific electrical appliances certification are divided into ten categories:

Wires and cables, fuses, wiring devices (electrical accessories, lighting appliances, etc.), current limiters, transformers, ballasts, electric heating appliances, electric power application machinery and equipment (household appliances), electronic application machinery and equipment (high-frequency hair removal devices), other AC electrical machinery and equipment (electrical insect killers, DC power supply devices), and portable engines;

2. The categories of Japan's PSE non-specific electrical appliances certification include eleven categories:

Wires and cables, fuses, wiring equipment, transformers, ballasts, wire tubes, small AC motors, electric heating appliances, electric power application machinery and equipment (paper shredders), light source application machinery and equipment (projectors, copiers), electronic application machinery and equipment (video recorders, televisions), other AC electrical machinery and equipment, lithium batteries and storage batteries.

Before issuing the certificate, the testing agency will conduct a factory inspection on the manufacturer. After the testing and factory inspection meet the requirements, the PSE mark and the testing agency's mark are allowed to be used on the battery charger. It is required to conduct 100% testing on the products produced, but the testing items are different for different products, usually high voltage test and protective grounding continuity test.

The certificate is valid for 3 years.

Regulations require Japanese buyers to register with Japan's METI within one month of purchasing goods, and the buyer's name or ID must be marked on the product to facilitate supervision and management during future product sales.

According to the Product Material Safety Law, the safety responsibility of products imported into Japan is borne entirely by Japanese importers. Therefore, importers must keep test reports and inspection records. Importers can also view inspection records through the internet.
