PSE certification

1、 Introduction to PSE Certification

PSE certification is a mandatory safety certification in Japan, used to prove that motor and electronic products have passed safety standards testing under the Japanese Electrical and Raw Material Safety Act (DENAN Law) or international IEC standards. The DENTORL Law of Japan stipulates that 498 products entering the Japanese market must pass safety certification. Among them, 165 Class A products should obtain a diamond shaped PSE logo, and 333 Class B products should obtain a circular PSE logo. Starting from April 1, 2001, the Electrical Product Control Law (DENTORL) has been officially renamed as the Electrical Product Safety Law (DENAN). Unlike previous regulatory systems that require contractual controls, the new system will involve unofficial agencies to ensure product safety.
