PSE Certification
PSE certification is a mandatory safety certification in Japan, which is used to prove that the electrical and electronic products have passed the safety standard test of the Japanese Electrical and Raw Material Safety Law (DENANLaw) or the international IEC standard. Japan’s DENTORL Law (Law on the Control of Electrical Installations and Materials) stipulates that 456 products must pass the safety certification before entering the Japanese market. Among them, 116 Class A products should obtain diamond PSE marks, and 340 Class B products should obtain round PSE marks.
Difference between PSE certification circle and diamond
All products belonging to the rhombus PSE catalog must pass the inspection of a third-party inspection agency authorized by the Ministry of Economy and Industry of Japan and obtain the inspection certificate before entering the Japanese market. For products belonging to the round PSE catalog, entering the Japanese market, a third-party testing agency must be entrusted to carry out the test, obtain the certificate of conformity, and confirm that they meet the technical standards of Japanese electrical products.
